Barclays Capital Inc.,
  as Representative of the several Underwriters
200 Park Avenue, 5th Floor
New York, NY 10166

Dear Sirs:

     1. Introductory. Perpetual Trustees Consolidated Limited (ABN 81 004 029
     841), a limited liability public company under the Corporations Act of
     Australia in its capacity as trustee of the Crusade Global Trust No. 2 of
     2005 (the "ISSUER TRUSTEE") at the direction of Crusade Management Limited
     (ABN 90 072 715 916), as manager (the "TRUST MANAGER") of Crusade Global
     Trust No. 2 of 2005 (the "TRUST") proposes to sell to the several
     Underwriters listed in Schedule A hereto (the "UNDERWRITERS"), for whom you
     are acting as representative (the "REPRESENTATIVE"), U.S. $1,000,000,000
     principal amount of Class A-1 Mortgage Backed Floating Rate Notes (the
     "CLASS A-1 NOTES") issued by the Trust. The Trust will also at the same
     time issue its A$600,000,000 Class A-2 Mortgage Backed Floating Rate Notes,
     its A$25,500,000 Class B Mortgage Backed Floating Rate Notes and its
     A$9,800,000 Class C Mortgage Backed Floating Rate Notes (collectively, the
     "OTHER NOTES" and together with the Class A-1 Notes, the "NOTES"). Each
     Note will be secured by the assets of the Trust. The assets of the Trust
     include, among other things, a pool of variable and fixed rate residential
     housing loans (the "HOUSING LOANS") originated or acquired by St.George
     Bank Limited (ABN 92 055 513 070) ("ST.GEORGE") including all monies at any
     time paid or payable thereon or in respect thereof from, the close of
     business on August 18, 2005 (the "CUT-OFF DATE") with respect to payments
     of principal and after the Closing Date (as defined herein) with respect to
     payments of interest, rights under certain insurance policies with respect
     to the Housing Loans, the Collection Account and the rights of the Issuer
     Trustee under the Basic Documents. The Trust was created pursuant to the
     Master Trust Deed, dated March 14, 1998 (the "MASTER TRUST DEED"), Notice
     of Creation of Trust, dated September 6, 2005 and a supplementary terms
     notice, to be dated on or about September 13, 2005 (the "SUPPLEMENTARY
     TERMS NOTICE"), each among the Issuer Trustee, St.George and the Trust








     Manager, which sets forth specific provisions regarding the Trust and
     details the provisions of the Notes. The Note Trust Deed, to be dated on or
     about September 13, 2005 (the "NOTE TRUST DEED") by and among the Issuer
     Trustee, the Trust Manager and The Bank of New York (the "NOTE TRUSTEE")
     provides for the issuance and registration of the Class A-1 Notes in
     accordance with the terms and conditions attached thereto. St.George will
     act as seller and as servicer (the "SERVICER") of the Housing Loans. Each
     of the Trust Manager and St.George are sometimes referred to as a
     "ST.GEORGE PARTY" and collectively are sometimes referred to herein as the
     "ST.GEORGE PARTIES."

         The Trust Manager has prepared and filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "COMMISSION") in accordance with the provisions of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the
Commission thereunder (collectively, the "SECURITIES ACT"), a registration
statement, including a prospectus, relating to the Class A-1 Notes. In addition,
the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is herein
referred to as the "EXCHANGE ACT."

         When used in this Agreement, "BASIC DOCUMENTS" shall mean each of the
Master Trust Deed, the Supplementary Terms Notice, the Servicing Agreement, the
Class A-1 Notes, the Security Trust Deed, the Note Trust Deed, the
Fixed-Floating Rate Swap, the Currency Swap, the Basis Swap and the Agency
Agreement. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein have
the meanings assigned to such terms in the Prospectus (as defined hereinafter).

         In this Agreement, a reference to the Issuer Trustee is a reference to
the Issuer Trustee in its capacity as trustee of the Trust only, and in no other
capacity. Any reference to the assets, business, property or undertaking of the
Issuer Trustee is a reference to the Issuer Trustee in that capacity only.

         In this Agreement, a reference to any representation, warranty,
covenant undertaking or indemnity by St.George or the Trust Manager shall be
construed such that a clear distinction exists between St.George and the Trust
Manager in respect of any obligations in accordance with Australian Prudential
Regulatory Authority AGN 120.1.

         Each St.George Party and the Issuer Trustee hereby agree with the
several Underwriters named on Schedule A as follows:

     2.  Representations and Warranties of the Issuer Trustee and the St.George
Parties.

    I.   The Issuer Trustee represents and warrants to each Underwriter that:

         (a)   Since the respective dates as of which information is provided in
         the Registration Statement and the Prospectus (each as defined
         herein), there has been no material adverse change or any development
         involving a prospective material adverse change in the condition
         (financial or otherwise) of the Issuer Trustee, except as disclosed in
         the Prospectus, which is material in the context of the Issuer Trustee
         performing its obligations and duties under the Class A-1 Notes and
         each Basic Document to which it is or is to be a party.




                                       2




         (b)   The Issuer Trustee is a corporation duly incorporated and
         existing under the laws of Australia; it is lawfully qualified and
         holds all Authorisations (as defined in the Master Trust Deed)
         necessary to carry on its business as described in the Prospectus and
         to issue the Class A-1 Notes and to act as required by each Basic
         Document to which it is or is to be a party and by law to comply with
         any requirements which affect the operations or business of the Trust
         or the Issuer Trustee's obligations under the Basic Documents to which
         it is a party and no other thing is required to be done by the Issuer
         Trustee (including without limitation the making of any filing or
         registration) in order to issue the Class A-1 Notes or to execute and
         act as required by each Basic Document to which it is to be a party.

         (c)   This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered
         by the Issuer Trustee.

         (d)   The Class A-1 Notes have been duly authorized, and, when issued,
         delivered and paid for pursuant to this Agreement, will have been duly
         executed, issued and delivered and will constitute valid and binding
         obligations of the Issuer Trustee, entitled to the benefits provided
         by the Note Trust Deed and the Security Trust Deed, subject as to
         enforceability to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
         conservatorship, receivership, liquidation or other similar laws
         affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and to
         general equitable principles. Each of the Basic Documents to which the
         Issuer Trustee is a party have been duly authorized by the Issuer
         Trustee, and, when executed and delivered by the Issuer Trustee and
         each of the other parties thereto, will constitute a legal, valid and
         binding obligation of the Issuer Trustee, enforceable against the
         Issuer Trustee in accordance with its terms, subject as to
         enforceability to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
         conservatorship, receivership, liquidation or other similar laws
         affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and to
         general equitable principles.

         (e) The Issuer Trustee is not, nor with the giving of notice or lapse
         of time or both would be, in violation of or in default under, (i) its
         Constitution or (ii) any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan
         agreement or other agreement or instrument to which the Issuer Trustee
         is a party or by which it or any of its properties is bound, except in
         the case of (ii) for violations and defaults which individually and in
         the aggregate would not have a material adverse effect on the
         transactions contemplated herein or in the Basic Documents; the issue
         and sale of the Class A-1 Notes and the performance by the Issuer
         Trustee of all of the provisions of its obligations under the Class
         A-1 Notes, the Basic Documents and this Agreement and the consummation
         of the transactions herein and therein contemplated will not conflict
         with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or
         constitute a default under, any agreement or instrument to which the
         Issuer Trustee is a party or by which the Issuer Trustee is bound or
         to which any of the property or assets of the Trust is subject, nor
         will any such action result in any violation of the provisions of the
         Constitution of the Issuer Trustee or any applicable law or statute or
         any order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or
         body having jurisdiction over the Issuer Trustee, or any of its
         properties; and, to the knowledge of the Issuer Trustee, no consent,
         approval, authorization, order, license, registration or qualification
         of or with any such court or governmental agency or body is required
         for the



                                       3




         issue and sale of the Class A-1 Notes or the consummation by the
         Issuer Trustee of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or
         the Basic Documents, except such consents, approvals, authorizations,
         orders, licenses, registrations or qualifications as may be required
         under state securities or "Blue Sky" laws in connection with the
         purchase and distribution of the Class A-1 Notes by the Underwriters.

         (f)   Other than as set forth or contemplated in the Prospectus, there
         are no legal or governmental investigations, actions, suits or
         proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Issuer Trustee,
         threatened against or affecting the Issuer Trustee or the Trust, or to
         which the Issuer Trustee is or may be a party or to which the Issuer
         Trustee or any property of the Trust is or may be the subject, which
         will have an impact on the transactions contemplated by this
         Agreement.

         (g)   The representations and warranties of the Issuer Trustee
         contained in the Basic Documents are true and correct in all material
         respects.

         (h) To the Issuer Trustee's knowledge, no event has occurred which
         would entitle the Trust Manager to direct the Issuer Trustee to retire
         as trustee of the Trust under clause 20 of the Master Trust Deed.

         (i) The Issuer Trustee has not taken any corporate action nor (to the
         best of its knowledge and belief) have any other steps been taken or
         legal proceedings been started or threatened against the Issuer
         Trustee for its winding-up, dissolution or reorganization or for the
         appointment of a receiver, receiver and manager, administrator,
         provisional liquidator or similar officer of it or of any or all of
         its assets.

         (j) Subject to compliance with Section 128F of the Income Tax
         Assessment Act (1936) (the "TAX ACT") and compliance by the
         Underwriters with Section 10(b) and 10(c) hereto, no stamp or other
         duty is assessable or payable in, and no withholding or deduction for
         any taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever
         nature is imposed or made for or on account of any income,
         registration, transfer or turnover taxes, customs or other duties or
         taxes of any kind, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or
         within, the Commonwealth of Australia or any sub-division of or
         authority therein or thereof having power to tax in such jurisdiction,
         in connection with the authorization, execution or delivery of the
         agreements to which the Issuer Trustee is to be a party or with the
         authorization, execution, issue, sale or delivery of the Class A-1
         Notes and the performance of the Issuer Trustee's obligations under
         the Basic Documents, other than, in the case of stamp duty, following
         a Title Perfection Event (as defined in the Master Trust Deed), to
         which it is to be a party and payments under the Class A-1 Notes.

         (k) The Class A-1 Notes and the obligations of the Issuer Trustee
         under the Note Trust Deed will be secured (pursuant to the Security
         Trust Deed) by a first floating charge over the assets of the Trust,
         subject to the terms of the Security Trust Deed.

         (l) No event has occurred or circumstances arisen which, had the Class
         A-1 Notes already been issued, would (whether or not with the giving
         of notice and/or the passage



                                       4



         of time and/or the fulfillment of any other requirement) constitute an
         Issuer Trustee's Default (as defined in the Prospectus).

  II.    Each St.George Party, as to itself only, represents and warrants to
each Underwriter and the Issuer Trustee that:

         (a)   The Trust Manager has filed a registration statement on Form
         S-11 (No. 333-127015), including a form of preliminary prospectus, for
         registration of the Class A-1 Notes under the Securities Act and has
         filed such amendments thereto and will file such additional amendments
         thereto and such amended prospectuses as may hereafter be required.
         Such registration statement in the form in which it first became
         effective and as amended or supplemented thereafter (if applicable)
         and the prospectus constituting a part thereof (including all
         information deemed to be a part thereof pursuant to Rule 430A(b) of
         the rules and regulations of the Commission under the Securities Act)
         as amended or supplemented thereafter (if applicable) under the
         Securities Act are herein referred to as the "REGISTRATION STATEMENT"
         and the "PROSPECTUS", respectively, except that if any revised
         prospectus shall be provided to you for use in connection with the
         offering of the Class A-1 Notes which differs from the Prospectus on
         file with the Commission at the time the Registration Statement
         becomes effective (whether or not such revised prospectus is required
         to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)), the term "PROSPECTUS" shall
         refer to such revised prospectus from and after the time it is first
         provided to you for such use.

         (b)   The Registration Statement has been declared effective under the
         Securities Act by the Commission. No stop order suspending the
         effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued and no
         proceeding for that purpose has been instituted or, to the knowledge
         of the Trust Manager, threatened by the Commission. The Registration
         Statement and Prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the Trust
         Manager shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto)
         comply, or will comply, as the case may be, in all material respects
         with the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the
         Commission thereunder and the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended,
         and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder
         (collectively, the "TRUST INDENTURE ACT") and do not and will not, as
         of the applicable effective date of the Registration Statement and any
         amendment thereto and as of the date of the Prospectus and any
         amendment or supplement thereto, contain any untrue statement of a
         material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated
         therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
         and the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, if applicable, at the
         Closing Date will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact
         or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements
         therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made,
         not misleading; except that the foregoing representations and
         warranties shall not apply to (i) that part of the Registration
         Statement which constitutes the Statement of Eligibility and
         Qualification (Form T-1) of the Note Trustee under the Trust Indenture
         Act and (ii) statements in or omissions from the Registration
         Statement or the Prospectus based upon written information furnished
         to the Trust Manager by any Underwriter through the Representative
         specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the
         only such information is that described as such in Section 7(b).



                                       5




         (c)   Except as described in the Prospectus, since the respective
         dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement
         and the Prospectus, there has been no material adverse change, nor any
         development involving a prospective material adverse change, in the
         condition (financial or other), business, properties, stockholders'
         equity or results of operations of such St.George Party taken as a
         whole.

         (d)   Such St.George Party is a corporation duly incorporated and
         validly existing under the Corporations Act of the Commonwealth of
         Australia as in effect at the date of this agreement; such St.George
         Party has the power and authority (corporate and other) to own its
         properties and conduct its business as described in the Prospectus and
         to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement and the
         Basic Documents to which it is a party and carry out the transactions
         contemplated by such Basic Documents; such St.George Party has been
         duly qualified or licensed for the transaction of business and is in
         good standing under the laws of each other jurisdiction in which it
         owns or leases properties, or conducts any business, so as to require
         such qualification or licensing, other than where the failure to be so
         qualified or licensed or in good standing would not have a material
         adverse effect on the transactions contemplated herein or in the Basic
         Documents.

         (e)   This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered
         by such St.George Party.

         (f)   The Basic Documents to which such St.George Party is a party
         have been duly authorized by such St.George Party, and upon
         effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the Note Trust Deed will
         have been duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act and, when
         executed and delivered by the St.George Party which is a party thereto
         and each of the other parties thereto, each of the Basic Documents to
         which such St.George Party is a party will constitute a legal, valid
         and binding obligation of such St.George Party, enforceable against
         such St.George Party in accordance with its terms, subject as to
         enforceability to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
         conservatorship, receivership, liquidation or other similar laws
         affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and to
         general equitable principles; and the Class A-1 Notes and the Basic
         Documents each will conform to the descriptions thereof in the
         Prospectus.

         (g)   Such St.George Party is not, and with the giving of notice, or
         lapse of time or both would not be, in violation of or in default
         under, (i) its Constitution or (ii) any indenture, mortgage, deed of
         trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which it is
         a party or by which it or any of its properties is bound, except in
         the case of (ii) for violations and defaults which individually and in
         the aggregate would not have a material adverse effect on the
         transactions contemplated herein or in the Basic Documents; the issue
         and sale of the Class A-1 Notes and the performance by such St.George
         Party of all of the provisions of its obligations under the Class A-1
         Notes, the Basic Documents and this Agreement and the consummation of
         the transactions herein and therein contemplated will not conflict
         with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or
         constitute a default under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust,
         loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which such
         St.George Party is a party or by which such St.George Party is bound
         or to which any of the property or assets of such St.George



                                       6




         Party is subject, nor will any such action result in any violation of
         the provisions of the Constitution of such St.George Party or any
         applicable law or statute or any order, rule or regulation of any
         court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over such
         St.George Party, or any of its properties; and no consent, approval,
         authorization, order, license, registration or qualification of or
         with any such court or governmental agency or body is required for the
         issue and sale of the Class A-1 Notes or the consummation by such
         St.George Party of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or
         the Basic Documents, except such consents, approvals, authorizations,
         orders, licenses, registrations or qualifications as have been
         obtained under the Securities Act, the Trust Indenture Act and as may
         be required under state securities or "Blue Sky" laws in connection
         with the purchase and distribution of the Class A-1 Notes by the
         Underwriters.

         (h)   Except as disclosed in the Prospectus, there are no legal or
         governmental investigations, actions, suits or proceedings pending or,
         to the knowledge of such St.George Party, threatened against or
         affecting such St.George Party or its properties or, to which such
         St.George Party is or may be a party or to which such St.George Party
         or any property of such St.George Party is or may be the subject, in
         each case, which will have an impact on the transactions contemplated
         by this Agreement; and there are no statutes, regulations, contracts
         or other documents that are required to be filed as an exhibit to the
         Registration Statement or required to be described in the Registration
         Statement or the Prospectus which are not filed or described as
         required.

         (i)   The representations and warranties of such St.George Party
         contained in the Basic Documents are true and correct in all material
         respects.

         (j)   KPMG LLP are independent public accountants with respect to such
         St.George Party within the meaning of the standards established by the
         American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

         (k)   Such St.George Party owns, possesses or has obtained all
         Authorisations (as defined in the Master Trust Deed), licenses,
         permits, certificates, consents, orders, approvals and other
         authorizations from, and has made all declarations and filings with,
         all federal, state, local and other governmental authorities
         (including foreign regulatory agencies), all self-regulatory
         organizations and all courts and other tribunals, domestic or foreign,
         necessary to perform its obligations under this Agreement and the
         Basic Documents, and such St.George Party has not received any actual
         notice of any proceeding relating to revocation or modification of any
         such Authorisation, license, permit, certificate, consent, order,
         approval or other authorization; and such St.George Party is in
         compliance with all laws and regulations necessary for the performance
         of its obligations under this Agreement and the Basic Documents.

         (l)   To the knowledge of such St.George Party, no event has occurred
         which would entitle such St.George Party to direct the Issuer Trustee
         to retire as trustee of the Trust under clause 20 of the Master Trust
         Deed.



                                       7




         (m)   Such St.George Party has not taken any corporate action nor (to
         the best of its knowledge and belief) have any other steps been taken
         or legal proceedings been started or threatened against such St.George
         Party for its winding-up, dissolution or reorganization or for the
         appointment of a receiver, receiver and manager, administrator,
         provisional liquidator or similar officer of it or of any or all of
         its assets.

         (n)   Subject to compliance with Section 128F of the Tax Act and
         compliance by the Underwriters with Section 10(b) and 10(c) hereto, no
         stamp or other duty is assessable or payable in, and no withholding or
         deduction for any taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges
         of whatever nature is imposed or made for or on account of any income,
         registration, transfer or turnover taxes, customs or other duties or
         taxes of any kind, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or
         within, the Commonwealth of Australia or any sub-division of or
         authority therein or thereof having power to tax in such jurisdiction,
         in connection with the authorization, execution or delivery of the
         agreements to which it is to be a party or with the authorization,
         execution, issue, sale or delivery of the Class A-1 Notes and the
         performance of such St.George Party's obligations under the agreements
         to which it is to be a party and the Class A-1 Notes.

         (o)   No event has occurred or circumstances arisen which, had the
         Class A-1 Notes already been issued, would (whether or not with the
         giving of notice and/or the passage of time and/or the fulfillment of
         any other requirement) constitute a Manager's Default (as defined in
         the Prospectus).

         (p)   Since August 23, 2005, there has been no material adverse change
         or any development involving a prospective material adverse change in
         the condition (financial or otherwise) of such St.George Party; and

         (q)   As of the Closing Date, St.George will have transferred to the
         Issuer Trustee a valid equitable assignment of each related Housing
         Loan offered for sale by it to the Issuer Trustee.

         (r)   Neither the Trust nor any St.George Party is an open-end
         investment company, unit investment trust or face-amount certificate
         company that is or is required to be registered under Section 3 of the
         United States Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the
         "INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT"); and neither of the Trust nor any St.George
         Party is and, after giving effect to the offering and sale of the
         Class A-1 Notes and the application of the proceeds thereof as
         described in the Prospectus, will not be an "INVESTMENT COMPANY" as
         defined in the Investment Company Act.

     3.  Purchase, Sale and Delivery of Class A-1 Notes. On the basis of the
     representations, warranties and agreements contained herein, but subject to
     the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Issuer Trustee, at the
     direction of the Trust Manager, agrees to sell the Class A-1 Notes to the
     Underwriters, and each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to
     purchase from the Issuer Trustee at a purchase price of 100% of the
     principal amount of the Class A-1 Notes (which amount may be made net of
     the commissions payable to the Underwriters or such commissions may be paid
     to the Underwriters as a separate payment, as the Representative and the
     St.George Parties shall agree) the respective principal amount of the



                                       8




     Class A-1 Notes set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter in Schedule
     A hereto. In addition, the Underwriters shall severally and not jointly be
     responsible for certain out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the St.George
     Parties in connection with the offering of the Class A-1 Notes, as shall be
     agreed to separately by the Underwriters and the St.George Parties (and
     such expenses may include a portion of the related attorneys fees incurred
     by the St.George Parties). Furthermore, if any Class A-1 Notes are offered
     and sold by an Underwriter pursuant to Section 10(k) hereof, compliance
     with Section 10(k) shall, in all cases, be at such Underwriter's sole
     expense.

         The Issuer Trustee will deliver against payment of the purchase price
the Class A-1 Notes in the form of one or more permanent Global Notes in
definitive form (the "GLOBAL NOTES") deposited with the Note Trustee as
custodian for The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") and registered in the name of
Cede & Co., as nominee for DTC. Interests in any permanent Global Notes will be
held only in book-entry form through DTC, except in the limited circumstances
described in the Prospectus. Payment for the Class A-1 Notes shall be made by
the Underwriters in Federal (same day) funds by official bank check or checks or
wire transfer to an account at a bank acceptable to the Representative drawn to
the order of Barclays Bank PLC (the "Currency Swap Provider") at the office of
Mayer, Brown, Rowe & Maw LLP, 1675 Broadway, New York, New York 10019 not later
than 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on September 15, 2005, or at such other
time not later than seven full business days thereafter as the Representative
and the Trust Manager determine, such time being herein referred to as the
"CLOSING DATE," against delivery to the Note Trustee as custodian for DTC of the
Global Notes representing all of the Class A-1 Notes. The Global Notes will be
made available for checking at the above office at least 24 hours prior to the
Closing Date.

     4.  Offering by Underwriters. The St.George Parties and the Issuer Trustee
     understand that the several Underwriters propose to offer the Class A-1
     Notes for sale to the public as set forth in the Prospectus.

     5.  Certain Agreements of the Issuer Trustee and the St.George Parties.

   I.    Each St.George Party, in respect of itself only, covenants and agrees
with each of the several Underwriters as follows:

         (a)   The Trust Manager will file with the Commission pursuant to and
         in accordance with Rule 430A and subparagraph (4) of Rule 424(b)
         copies of an amended Prospectus containing all of the information
         omitted from the Prospectus in reliance upon Rule 430A at the time the
         Registration Statement became effective. The Trust Manager will advise
         the Representative promptly of any such filing pursuant to Rule
         424(b).

         (b)   The Trust Manager will advise the Representative promptly of any
         proposal to amend or supplement the Registration Statement as filed or
         the related Prospectus and will not effect such amendment or
         supplementation without the Representative's consent; and the Trust
         Manager will also advise the Representative promptly of the
         institution by the Commission of any stop order proceedings in respect
         of the Registration Statement and will use its best efforts to prevent
         the issuance of any such stop order and to obtain as soon as possible
         its lifting, if issued.



                                       9





         (c)   If, at any time when a prospectus relating to the Class A-1
         Notes is required to be delivered under the Securities Act in
         connection with sales by any Underwriter or dealer, any event occurs
         as a result of which the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented
         would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state
         any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the
         light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading,
         or if it is necessary at any time to amend the Prospectus to comply
         with the Securities Act, the Trust Manager will promptly notify the
         Representative of such event and will promptly prepare and file with
         the Commission, at its own expense, an amendment or supplement which
         will correct such statement or omission or an amendment which will
         effect such compliance. Neither the Representative's consent to, nor
         the Underwriters' delivery of, any such amendment or supplement shall
         constitute a waiver of any of the conditions set forth in Section 6.

         (d)   As soon as practicable, the Trust Manager will make generally
         available to its securityholders an earnings statement covering a
         period of at least 12 months beginning after the effective date of the
         Registration Statement which will satisfy the provisions of Section
         11(a) of the Securities Act.

         (e)   The Trust Manager will furnish to the Representative copies of
         the Registration Statement and each amendment (3 of which will be
         signed and will include all exhibits), each related preliminary
         prospectus, and, so long as a prospectus relating to the Class A-1
         Notes is required to be delivered under the Securities Act in
         connection with sales by any Underwriter or dealer, the Prospectus and
         all amendments and supplements to such documents, in each case in such
         reasonable quantities as the Representative requests. The Prospectus
         shall be so furnished on or prior to 3:00 P.M., New York time, on the
         business day following the later of the execution and delivery of this
         Agreement or the effective time of the Registration Statement. All
         other documents shall be so furnished as soon as available. The Trust
         Manager will pay the expenses of printing and distributing to the
         Underwriters all such documents.

         (f)   The Trust Manager will arrange for the qualification of the
         Class A-1 Notes for sale and the determination of their eligibility
         for investment under the laws of such jurisdictions as the
         Representative designates and will continue such qualifications in
         effect so long as required for the distribution.

         (g)   So long as the Class A-1 Notes are outstanding, the Trust
         Manager will furnish to the Representative (i) copies of each
         certificate, the annual statements of compliance and the annual
         independent certified public accountant's audit report on the
         financial statements furnished to the Issuer Trustee or the Note
         Trustee pursuant to the Basic Documents by first class mail as soon as
         practicable after such statements and reports are furnished to the
         Issuer Trustee or the Note Trustee, (ii) copies of each amendment to
         any of the Basic Documents, (iii) on each Determination Date or as
         soon thereafter as practicable, the Bond Factor as of the related
         Record Date shall be available to the Representative on Bloomberg and
         Reuters, (iv) copies of all reports or other communications (financial
         or other) furnished to holders of the Class A-1 Notes, and copies of
         any reports and financial statements furnished to or filed with the
         Commission, any governmental or regulatory authority or any national
         securities exchange, and (v)




                                       10




         from time to time such other information concerning the Trust or the
         Trust Manager as the Representative may reasonably request.

         (h)   To the extent, if any, that the ratings provided with respect to
         the Class A-1 Notes by the Rating Agencies are conditional upon the
         furnishing of documents or the taking of any other action by the Trust
         Manager, the Trust Manager shall use its best efforts to furnish such
         documents and take any other such action.

         (i)   The Trust Manager will assist the Representative in making
         arrangements with DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg
         concerning the issue of the Class A-1 Notes and related matters.

         (j)   The Trust Manager will not take, or cause to be taken, any
         action and will not knowingly permit any action to be taken which it
         knows or has reason to believe would result in the Class A-1 Notes not
         being assigned the ratings referred to in Section 6(n) below.

         (k)   St.George will pay all expenses incident to the performance of
         the St.George Parties' obligations under this Agreement, for any
         filing fees and other expenses (including fees and disbursements of
         underwriters' counsel and issuers' counsel) incurred in connection
         with qualification of the Class A-1 Notes for sale under the laws of
         such jurisdictions as the Representative designates and the printing
         of memoranda relating thereto, for any fees charged by the independent
         accountants, for any fees charged by the rating agencies for the
         rating of the Class A-1 Notes, for any travel expenses of any of the
         St.George Parties' officers and employees and any other expenses of
         either St.George Party in connection with attending or hosting
         meetings with prospective purchasers of the Class A-1 Notes and for
         expenses incurred in distributing preliminary prospectuses and the
         Prospectus (including any amendments and supplements thereto) to the
         Underwriters.

         (l)   St.George Bank will indemnify and hold harmless the Underwriters
         against any documentary, stamp or similar issue tax, including any
         interest and penalties, on the creation, issue and sale of the Class
         A-1 Notes and on the execution and delivery of this Agreement. All
         payments to be made by the Issuer Trustee and the St.George Parties
         hereunder shall be made without withholding or deduction for or on
         account of any present or future taxes, duties or governmental charges
         whatsoever unless the Trust Manager is compelled by law to deduct or
         withhold such taxes, duties or charges. In that event, the Trust
         Manager shall pay such additional amounts as may be necessary in order
         that the net amounts received after such withholding or deduction
         shall equal the amounts that would have been received if no
         withholding or deduction had been made.

         (m)   The St.George Party will not offer, sell, contract to sell,
         pledge or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, or file with
         the Commission a registration statement under the Securities Act
         relating to asset-backed securities, or publicly disclose the
         intention to make any such offer, sale, pledge, disposition or filing,
         without the prior written consent of the Representative for a period
         beginning at the date of this Agreement and ending at the later of the
         Closing Date or the lifting of trading restrictions by the
         Representative.



                                       11




         (n)   So long as the Class A-1 Notes are outstanding, the Trust
         Manager will not be or become (nor permit the Trust to be or become),
         an open-end investment company, unit investment trust or face-amount
         certificate company that is or is required to be registered under
         Section 8 of the Investment Company Act.

  II.    The Issuer Trustee covenants and agrees with each of the several
Underwriters as follows:

         (a)   The Issuer Trustee will use the net proceeds received by the
         Issuer Trustee from the sale of the Class A-1 Notes pursuant to this
         Agreement in the manner specified in the Prospectus under the caption
         "Use of Proceeds".

         (b)   The Issuer Trustee will pay any stamp duty or other issue,
         transaction, value added or similar tax, fee or duty (including court
         fees) in relation to the execution of, or any transaction carried out
         pursuant to, the Basic Documents or in connection with the issue and
         distribution of the Class A-1 Notes or the enforcement or delivery of
         this Agreement.

         (c)   The Issuer Trustee will use all reasonable efforts to procure
         satisfaction on or before the Closing Date of the conditions referred
         to in Section 6 below and, in particular (i) the Issuer Trustee shall
         execute those of the Basic Documents required to be executed by the
         Issuer Trustee not executed on the date hereof on or before the
         Closing Date, and (ii) the Issuer Trustee will assist the
         Representative to make arrangements with DTC, Euroclear and
         Clearstream, Luxembourg concerning the issue of the Class A-1 Notes
         and related matters.

         (d)   The Issuer Trustee will procure or cause to be procured that the
         charges created by or contained in the Security Trust Deed are
         registered within all applicable time limits in all appropriate
         registers.

         (e)   The Issuer Trustee will perform all its obligations under, and
         subject to, each of the Basic Documents to which it is a party which
         are required to be performed prior to or simultaneously with closing
         on the Closing Date.

         (f)   The Issuer Trustee will not take, or cause to be taken, any
         action and will not knowingly permit any action to be taken which it
         knows or has reason to believe would result in the Class A-1 Notes not
         being assigned the ratings referred to in Section 6(n) below.

         (g)   The Issuer Trustee will not prior to or on the Closing Date
         amend the terms of any Basic Document to which it is a party nor
         execute any of the Basic Documents to which it is a party other than
         in the agreed form without the consent of the Representative.

     6.  Conditions of the Obligations of the Underwriters. The obligations of
     the several Underwriters to purchase and pay for the Class A-1 Notes on the
     Closing Date will be subject to the accuracy of the representations and
     warranties on the part of the St.George Parties and the Issuer Trustee
     herein, to the accuracy of the statements of officers of the St.George
     Parties and the Issuer Trustee made pursuant to the provisions hereof, to
     the performance of the St.George Parties and the Issuer Trustee of their
     obligations hereunder and to the following additional conditions precedent:



                                       12




         (a)   The Registration Statement shall have become effective, or if a
         post-effective amendment is required to be filed under the Securities
         Act, such post-effective amendment shall have become effective, not
         later than 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on the date hereof or on
         such later date to which you have consented; and no stop order
         suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any
         post-effective amendment shall be in effect, and no proceedings for
         such purpose shall be pending before or threatened by the Commission.
         The Prospectus, including all price-related information previously
         omitted from the prospectus which formed a part of the Registration
         Statement at the time it became effective, in accordance with Rule
         430A, shall have been transmitted to the Commission for filing
         pursuant to Rule 424(b) within the applicable time period prescribed
         for such filing by the rules and regulations under the Securities Act
         and in accordance with Section 5.1.(a) hereof; and prior to the
         Closing Date the Trust Manager shall have provided evidence
         satisfactory to the Representative of such timely filing, and all
         requests for additional information shall have been complied with to
         the satisfaction of the Representative.

         (b)   Subsequent to the execution and delivery of this Agreement,
         there shall not have occurred (i) any change, or any development or
         event involving a prospective change, in the condition (financial or
         other), business, properties or results of operations of any of the
         St.George Parties, the Issuer Trustee or any Swap Party and their
         respective subsidiaries, in each case, taken as one enterprise, which,
         in the judgment of a majority in interest of the Underwriters
         including the Representative, is material and adverse and makes it
         impractical or inadvisable to proceed with completion of the public
         offering or the sale of and payment for the Class A-1 Notes; (ii) any
         downgrading in the rating of any debt securities of any of the Trust
         Manager, St.George, the Issuer Trustee or any Swap Party by any
         "nationally recognized statistical rating organization" (as defined
         for purposes of Rule 436(g) under the Securities Act), or any public
         announcement that any such organization has under surveillance or
         review its rating of the Class A-1 Notes or any debt securities of any
         of the Trust Manager, St.George, the Issuer Trustee or any Swap Party
         (other than an announcement with positive implications of a possible
         upgrading, and no implication of a possible downgrading, of such
         rating); (iii) any change in United States, Australian or
         international financial, political or economic conditions or currency
         exchange rates or exchange controls as would, in the judgment of a
         majority in interest of the Underwriters, including the
         Representative, be likely to prejudice materially the success of the
         proposed issue, sale or distribution of the Class A-1 Notes, whether
         in the primary market or in respect of dealings in the secondary
         market; (iv) any material suspension or material limitation of trading
         in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange, the London
         Stock Exchange or any other exchange on which the Class A-1 Notes are
         listed, or any setting of minimum prices for trading on such exchange,
         or any suspension of trading of any securities of any of the Trust
         Manager, St.George, the Issuer Trustee or any Swap Party on any
         exchange or in the over-the-counter market; (v) any banking moratorium
         declared by U.S. Federal, New York, London, England or Australian
         authorities; (vi) any material disruption in the settlement or
         clearance services of DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream; or (vii) any
         outbreak or escalation of major hostilities or material act of
         terrorism involving the United States, the United Kingdom or
         Australia, any declaration of war by Congress or any other substantial
         national or international calamity or emergency if, in the judgment of
         a



                                       13




         majority in interest of the Underwriters, including the
         Representative, the effect of any such outbreak, escalation, act,
         declaration, calamity or emergency makes it impractical or inadvisable
         to proceed with completion of the public offering or the sale of and
         payment for the Class A-1 Notes.

         (c)   The Representative shall have received a certificate, dated the
         Closing Date, of the managing director, director or any chief general
         manager of each St.George Party and (as to paragraphs (i) and (ii)
         below only) of an authorized officer of the Issuer Trustee in which
         such officers, to the best of their knowledge after reasonable
         investigation, shall state that: (i) the representations and
         warranties of such entity in this Agreement are true and correct; (ii)
         such entity has complied with all agreements and satisfied all
         conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied hereunder at or
         prior to such Closing Date; (iii) in the case of the Trust Manager, no
         stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement
         has been issued and no proceedings for that purpose have been
         instituted or are contemplated by the Commission; and (iv) subsequent
         to the date of the most recent financial statements supplied by the
         St.George Parties to the Underwriters or the Representative on behalf
         of the Underwriters, there has been no material adverse change, nor
         any development or event involving a prospective material adverse
         change, in the condition (financial or other), business, properties or
         results of operations of such entity and its subsidiaries taken as a

         that they are independent public accountants within the standards
         established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
         and the meaning of the Securities Act and the applicable published

         stating to the effect that they have compared specified dollar amounts
         (or percentages derived from such dollar amounts) and other financial
         information contained in the Registration Statement (in each case to
         the extent that such dollar amounts, percentages and other financial
         information are derived from the general accounting records of the
         St.George Parties and their subsidiaries subject to the internal
         controls of such parties' accounting system or are derived directly
         from such records by analysis or computation or from the collateral

         obtained from inquiries,




                                       14

         Representative their written opinion, dated the Closing Date, to the
         effect that, the statements contained in the Prospectus under the
         heading "United States Federal Income Tax Matters", to the extent that
         they constitute matters of federal law or legal conclusions with
         respect thereto, while not purporting to discuss all possible
         consequences of investment in the Class A-1 Notes, are correct in all
         material respects with respect to those consequences or matters that
         are discussed therein.

         counsel to believe that (A) the Registration Statement, as of the time
         it became effective or as of such Closing Date, contained or contains
         any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a
         material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to
         make the statements therein not misleading, and (B) the Prospectus, as
         of the date of the Prospectus or as of such Closing Date, contained or
         contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits
         to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements
         therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made,
         not misleading; it being understood that such supplemental letter is
         subject to all of the qualifications, assumptions and exceptions set

         upon such matters.

         respect to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and other related
         matters as the Representative may reasonably request, and such counsel
         shall have received such papers and information as they may reasonably
         request to enable them to pass upon such matters.

         (n)   The Representative shall have received a letter or letters from
         each counsel delivering any written opinion to any Rating Agency in
         connection with the transaction described herein which is not otherwise
         described in this Agreement allowing the Representative to rely on such
         opinion as if it were addressed to the Representative.

         (o)   At the Closing Date, the Class A-1 Notes shall have been rated
         "AAA" by Standard & Poor's Ratings Group, A Division of The McGraw-Hill

   7.    Indemnification and Contribution.

          (a)   Each of St.George and the Trust Manager, severally, agrees to
          indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter and the Issuer Trustee,
          its partners, directors and officers and each person, if any, who
          controls such Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the
          Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any losses,
          claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such
          Underwriter or the Issuer Trustee may become subject, under the
          Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages
          or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are
          based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any
          material fact contained in any Registration Statement or arise out of
          or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a
          material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
          statements therein not misleading or (ii) any untrue statement or
          alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the
          Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any related
          preliminary prospectus, or arise out of or are based upon the omission
          or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
          stated therein




                                       16




         or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the
         circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and will
         reimburse each Underwriter for any legal or other expenses reasonably
         incurred by such Underwriter or the Issuer Trustee in connection with
         investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or
         action as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that neither
         St.George nor the Trust Manager will be liable in any such case to the
         extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or
         is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement in or
         omission or alleged omission from any of such documents in reliance
         upon and in conformity with written information furnished to St.George
         or the Trust Manager by (i) any Underwriter through the Representative
         specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the
         only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the
         information described as such in subsection (b) below or (ii) the
         Currency Swap Provider, for inclusion in the Prospectus under the
         heading "Description of the Notes--The Currency Swap
         Provider--Barclays Bank PLC;" and provided, further, that with respect
         to any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement in or omission or
         alleged omission from any preliminary prospectus the indemnity
         agreement contained in this paragraph (a) shall not inure to the
         benefit of any Underwriter from whom the person asserting any such
         losses, claims, damages or liabilities purchased the Class A-1 Notes
         concerned, to the extent that a prospectus relating to such Class A-1
         Notes was required to be delivered by such Underwriter under the
         Securities Act in connection with such purchase and any such loss,
         claim, damage or liability of such Underwriter results from the fact
         that there was not sent or given to such person, at or prior to the
         written confirmation of the sale of such Class A-1 Notes to such
         person, a copy of the Prospectus if the Trust Manager had previously
         furnished copies thereof to such Underwriter at least two Business
         Days prior to the delivery of the related written confirmations
         regarding the sale of such Class A-1 Notes to investors.

         (b)   Each Underwriter will severally and not jointly indemnify and
         hold harmless St.George, the Issuer Trustee and the Trust Manager,
         their respective partners, their respective directors and their
         respective officers and each person, if any, who controls such company
         within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20
         of the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages or
         liabilities to which such company may become subject, under the
         Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages
         or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are
         based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any
         material fact contained in any Registration Statement or arise out of
         or are based upon the omission or the alleged omission to state
         therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
         make the statements therein not misleading or (ii) any untrue
         statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained
         in the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any
         related preliminary prospectus, or arise out of or are based upon the
         omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required
         to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in
         light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading,
         in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue
         statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission
         was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
         furnished to the Trust Manager by such Underwriter through the
         Representative specifically for use therein, and will reimburse any
         legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by St.George,



                                      17




         the Issuer Trustee or the Trust Manager in connection with
         investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or
         action as such expenses are incurred, it being understood and agreed
         that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists
         of the following information in the Prospectus furnished on behalf of
         each Underwriter: (i) the concession and reallowance percentages
         appearing in the third paragraph under the caption "Plan of
         Distribution" and (ii) the information contained in the seventh and
         eighth paragraphs under the caption "Plan of Distribution"; provided,
         however, that the Underwriters shall not be liable for any losses,
         claims, damages or liabilities arising out of or based upon the Trust
         Manager's failure to perform its obligations under Section 5.I.(b) of
         this Agreement.

         (c)   Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this
         paragraph (c) of notice of the commencement of any action, such
         indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made
         against the indemnifying party under subsection (a) or (b) above,
         notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the
         omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from
         any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise
         than under subsection (a) or (b) above. In case any such action is
         brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying
         party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be
         entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish,
         jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to
         assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such
         indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the
         indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and after
         notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its
         election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will
         not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section for any
         legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified
         party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable
         costs of investigation. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior
         written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any
         pending or threatened action in respect of which any indemnified party
         is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought
         hereunder by such indemnified party unless such settlement (i)
         includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all
         liability on any claims that are the subject matter of such action and
         (ii) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault,
         culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of an indemnified
         party.

         (d)   If the indemnification provided for in this Section is
         unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party
         under subsection (a) or (b) above, then each indemnifying party shall
         contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as
         a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in
         subsection (a) or (b) above (i) in such proportion as is appropriate
         to reflect the relative benefits received by the St.George Parties and
         the Issuer Trustee on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other
         from the offering of the Class A-1 Notes or (ii) if the allocation
         provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in
         such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative
         benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault
         of the St.George Parties and the Issuer Trustee on the one hand and
         the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or
         omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or
         liabilities as well as any other relevant equitable



                                       18




         considerations. The relative benefits received by the St.George
         Parties and the Issuer Trustee on the one hand and the Underwriters on
         the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total
         net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by
         the St.George Parties and the Issuer Trustee bear to the total
         underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters.
         The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other
         things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material
         fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact
         relates to information supplied by the St.George Parties and the
         Issuer Trustee or the Underwriters and the parties' relative intent,
         knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent
         such untrue statement or omission. The amount paid by an indemnified
         party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities
         referred to in the first sentence of this subsection (d) shall be
         deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by
         such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending
         any action or claim which is the subject of this subsection (d). In
         addition, nothing in this Section 7 shall require any of the St.George
         Parties or any Underwriter to contribute to the amount paid or payable
         by any St.George Party or any Underwriter, as applicable, from any
         losses, claims, damages or liabilities arising out of or based on
         information contained in or omitted from the information set forth in
         the Prospectus under the heading "Description of the Notes--The
         Currency Swap Provider--Barclays Bank PLC." Notwithstanding the
         provisions of this subsection (d), no Underwriter shall be required to
         contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price
         at which the Class A-1 Notes underwritten by it and distributed to the
         public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages
         which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of
         such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
         omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the
         meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to
         contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
         misrepresentation. The Underwriters' obligations in this subsection
         (d) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective
         underwriting obligations and not joint.

         (e)   The obligations of a St.George Party and the Issuer Trustee
         under this Section shall be in addition to any liability which such
         St.George Party and the Issuer Trustee may otherwise have and shall
         extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any,
         who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act;
         and the obligations of the Underwriters under this Section shall be in
         addition to any liability which the respective Underwriters may
         otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions,
         to each director of a St.George Party or the Issuer Trustee, to each
         officer of a St.George Party or the Issuer Trustee who has signed the
         Registration Statement and to each person, if any, who controls a
         St.George Party or the Issuer Trustee within the meaning of the
         Securities Act.

         (f)   To the extent that any payment of damages by St.George or the
         Trust Manager pursuant to subsection 7(a) above is determined to be a
         payment of damages pursuant to paragraph 15 of Guidance Note AGN
         120.3- "Purchase and Supply of Assets (including Securities issued by
         SPVs)", being a Guidance Note to Prudential Standard APS 120- "Funds
         Management and Securitisation" or any successor thereto such payment
         shall be



                                       19




         subject to the terms therein (or the terms of any equivalent provision
         in any replacement of Prudential Standard APS 120).

         (g)   The remedies provided in this Section 7, are not exclusive and
         shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise by
         available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

     8.  Default of Underwriters. If any Underwriter or Underwriters default in
     their obligations to purchase Class A-1 Notes hereunder on the Closing Date
     and the aggregate principal amount of Class A-1 Notes that such defaulting
     Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase does not exceed
     10% of the total principal amount of Class A-1 Notes that the Underwriters
     are obligated to purchase on such Closing Date, the Representative may make
     arrangements satisfactory to the Trust Manager for the purchase of such
     Class A-1 Notes by other persons, including any of the Underwriters, but if
     no such arrangements are made by such Closing Date, the non-defaulting
     Underwriters shall be obligated severally, in proportion to their
     respective commitments hereunder, to purchase the Class A-1 Notes that such
     defaulting Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase on such Closing Date.
     If any Underwriter or Underwriters so default and the aggregate principal
     amount of Class A-1 Notes with respect to which such default or defaults
     occur exceeds 10% of the total principal amount of Class A-1 Notes that the
     Underwriters are obligated to purchase on such Closing Date and
     arrangements satisfactory to the Representative and the Trust Manager for
     the purchase of such Class A-1 Notes by other persons are not made within
     36 hours after such default, this Agreement will terminate without
     liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Trust
     Manager, except as provided in Section 9. As used in this Agreement, the
     term "UNDERWRITER" includes any person substituted for an Underwriter under
     this Section. Nothing herein will relieve a defaulting Underwriter from
     liability for its default.

     9.  Survival of Certain Representations and Obligations. The respective
     indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements
     of the St.George Parties, the Issuer Trustee or their respective officers
     and of the several Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this
     Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any
     investigation, or statement as to the results thereof, made by or on behalf
     of any Underwriter, the St.George Parties, the Issuer Trustee or any of
     their respective representatives, officers or directors or any controlling
     person, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Class A-1 Notes.
     If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8 or if for any reason
     the purchase of the Class A-1 Notes by the Underwriters is not consummated,
     each St.George Party, severally in respect of itself, shall remain
     responsible for the expenses to be paid or reimbursed by it pursuant to
     Section 5 and the respective obligations of such St.George Party, the
     Issuer Trustee and the Underwriters pursuant to Section 7 shall remain in
     effect, and if any Class A-1 Notes have been purchased hereunder the
     representations and warranties in Section 2 and all obligations under
     Section 5 shall also remain in effect. If the purchase of the Class A-1
     Notes by the Underwriters is not consummated for any reason other than
     solely because of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8
     or the occurrence of any event specified in clause (iii), (iv), (v), (vi)
     or (vii) of Section 6(b), each St.George Party, severally, will reimburse
     the Underwriters for all out-of-pocket expenses (including fees and
     disbursements of counsel) reasonably incurred by them in connection with
     the offering of the Class A-1 Notes.

                    advertisement or other offering material,

         in the Commonwealth of Australia, its territories or possessions
         ("AUSTRALIA") unless:

                 (I)      the amount payable for the Class A-1 Notes on
                          acceptance of the offer by each offeree or invitee is
                          a minimum amount of A$500,000 (or its equivalent in
                          another currency) (disregarding amounts, if any, lent
                          by Crusade Management Pty Limited or other person
                          offering the Class A-1 Notes or any associate of them,
                          which will also include for this purpose the Issuer
                          Trustee) or the offer or invitation is otherwise an
                          offer or invitation for which no disclosure is
                          required to be made under Part 6D.2 of the
                          Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (the "CORPORATIONS ACT")
                          as then in effect and the Corporations Regulations
                          made under the Corporations Act as then in effect; and

                (II)      the offer, invitation or distribution complies with
                          all applicable laws, regulations and directives in
                          relation to the offer, invitation or distribution and
                          does not require any document to be lodged with the
                          Australian Securities and Investments Commission or
                          the Australian Stock Exchange Limited.

         (b)   Each Underwriter severally (but not jointly) agrees that, in
connection with the primary distribution of the Class A-1 Notes, it will not
sell any Class A-1 Notes to any person if, at the time of such sale, the
employees of the Underwriter aware of, or involved in, the sale actually knows
(but without an obligation on such Underwriter to make any inquiry) or has
reasonable grounds to suspect, that as a result of such sale, such Class A-1
Notes or any interest in such Class A-1 Notes were being, or would later be
acquired (directly or indirectly) by an Offshore Associate of the Issuer Trustee
(other than in the capacity of a dealer, manager or underwriter in relation to a
placement of the Class A-1 Notes or in the capacity of a clearing house,
custodian, funds manager or responsible entity of an Australian scheme).


                                       21




For purposes of this Section 10 an "OFFSHORE ASSOCIATE" of the Issuer Trustee
means an "associate" within the meaning of Section 128F of the Tax Act
(including for this purpose, any associates of Crusade Management Limited as a
beneficiary of the Trust) that is either:

                    (1)   a non resident of Australia that does not acquire the
                    Class A-1 Notes in carrying on business at or through a
                    permanent establishment in Australia; or

                    (2)   a resident of Australia that acquires the Class A-1
                    Notes in carrying on a business at or through a permanent
                    establishment outside Australia.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of this Section 10, an Underwriter
will be considered to have actual knowledge or reasonable grounds to suspect
that an entity is an Offshore Associate of the Issuer Trustee only if that
entity is identified on the lists that are to be provided to the Representative
by the Issuer Trustee and St.George Bank (collectively, the "LIST").

         (c)   Each Underwriter (severally, not jointly) agrees that it must
offer the Class A-1 Notes for which it subscribes for sale within 30 days of the
issue of those Class A-1 Notes. Such offer must only be by one of the following
means (or a combination thereof):

                    (1)   as a result of negotiations being initiated by the
                    underwriter in electronic form on Reuters or the Bloomberg
                    System or any other electronic financial information system
                    which is used by financial markets for dealing in notes such
                    as the Class A-1 Notes, specifying in such offer the name of
                    the issuer, the name of the issuer trust, the maturity date
                    of the Class A-1 Notes, the principal amount of the Class
                    A-1 Notes and the price at which the Class A-1 Notes are
                    offered for sale; or

                    (2)   to at least 10 persons each of whom was carrying on a
                    business of providing finance, or investing or dealing in
                    securities, in the course of operating in financial markets
                    who was not actually known (but without an obligation on
                    such Underwriter to make any inquiry) or reasonably
                    suspected by the employees of each Underwriter acting in
                    relation to the sale to be an associate (as defined in
                    Section 128F of the Tax Act) of any other person covered by
                    this sub-paragraph (2); or

                    (3)   to at least 100 persons who it would be reasonable to
                    regard as either having acquired instruments similar to the
                    Class A-1 Notes in the past or as likely to be interested in
                    acquiring Class A-1 Notes.

         (d)   Each Underwriter (severally, not jointly) agrees that it will
provide the Issuer Trustee (within five Business Days of the offer of such Class
A-1 Notes by it) a written statement which sets out the details of the relevant
offer.

         (e)   Each Underwriter (severally, not jointly) agrees to co-operate
with reasonable requests from the Issuer Trustee for information for the
purposes of assisting the Issuer Trustee




                                       22




to demonstrate that the public offer test under Section 128F of the Tax Act has
been satisfied, provided that no Underwriter shall be obliged to disclose:

                    (1)   the identity of the purchaser of any Class A-1 Note,

                    (2)   any information from which such identity might/would
                    be capable of being ascertained,

                    (3)   any information the disclosure of which would be
                    contrary to or prohibited by any relevant law, regulation or
                    directive, or

                    (4)   any information or documentation after a period of 4
                    years from the lodgment of the income tax return by the
                    Issuer Trustee for the financial year ending 30 September
                    2005.

         (f)   Each Underwriter (severally and not jointly) agrees that:

                    (i)   it has not offered or sold and will not offer or sell
                          any Class A-1 Notes to persons in the United Kingdom
                          except to persons which have not resulted and will not
                          result in an offer to the public in the United Kingdom
                          within the meaning of the Financial Services and
                          Markets Act 2000 (the "FSMA");

                    (ii)  it has complied with and will comply with all
                          applicable provisions of the FSMA with respect to
                          anything done by it in relation to the Class A-1 Notes
                          in, from or otherwise involving the United Kingdom;
                          and

                    (iii) it has only communicated or caused to be communicated,
                          and will only communicate or cause to be communicated,
                          an invitation or inducement to engage in investment
                          activity (within the meaning of section 21 of the
                          FSMA) received by it in connection with the issue or
                          sale of such Class A-1 Notes in circumstances in which
                          Section 21(1) of the FSMA does not apply to the Issuer
                          Trustee.

         (g)   Each Underwriter (severally and not jointly) has represented,
warranted and agreed that it has complied with and will comply with all
applicable provisions of the Irish Companies Acts 1963 to 2005, the Investment
Intermediaries Act, 1995 (as amended) including, without limitation, Sections 9
and 50 and will conduct itself in accordance with any Code of Conduct drawn up
pursuant to Section 37 with respect to anything done by it in relation to the
Class A-1 Notes.

         (h)   Each Underwriter (severally and not jointly) acknowledges that

(1) the Prospectus has not been and will not be registered as a prospectus with
the Monetary Authority of Singapore and (2) the Class A-1 Notes will be issued
pursuant to exemptions invoked under the Securities and Futures Act, Chapter 289
of Singapore (the "SECURITIES AND FUTURES ACT"). Accordingly, each Underwriter
(severally and not jointly) represents and agrees that neither the Prospectus
nor any other document or material in connection with the offer or sale, or
invitation for subscription or purchase of the Class A-1 Notes will be
distributed or circulated by it nor will the Class A-1



                                       23




Notes be offered or sold, or be made the subject of an invitation for
subscription or purchase, whether directly or indirectly in Singapore other than
to (i) persons in Singapore under circumstances in which any offer, sale or
invitation of Class A-1 Notes does not constitute an offer, sale or invitation
to the public in Singapore; or (ii) the public or any member of the public in
Singapore pursuant to, and in accordance with the conditions of, an exemption
invoked under Sub-division (4) of Division 1 of Part XIII of or other applicable
provision of the Securities and Futures Act and to persons to whom any Class A-1
Notes may be offered or sold under any such exemptions.

         (i)   Each Underwriter (severally and not jointly) agrees that:

                    (1)   it has not offered or sold and will not offer or sell
                    in Hong Kong, by means of any document, any Class A-1 Notes
                    other than:

                          (A)   to persons whose ordinary business it is to buy
                    or sell shares or debentures (whether as principal or agent)
                    or to "professional investors" as defined in the Securities
                    and Futures Ordinance (Cap. 571) of Hong Kong and any rules
                    made under that Ordinance; or

                          (B)   in other circumstances which do not result in
                    the document being a "prospectus" as defined in the
                    Companies Ordinance (Cap. 32) of Hong Kong or which do not
                    constitute an offer to the public within the meaning of the
                    Ordinance; and

                    (2)   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 purpose of issue, whether in Hong Kong or
                    elsewhere, any advertisement, invitation or document
                    relating to the Class A-1 Notes which is directed at, or the
                    contents of which are likely to be accessed or read by, the
                    public of Hong Kong (except if permitted to do so under the
                    securities laws of Hong Kong) other than with respect to
                    Class A-1 Notes which are or are intended to be disposed of
                    only to persons outside Hong Kong or only to "professional
                    investors" as defined in the Securities and Futures
                    Ordinance (Cap. 571) of Hong Kong and any rules made
                    thereunder.

         (j)   Each  underwriter  (severally and not jointly) agrees that the
Class A-1 Notes may not be offered, sold or distributed in the Kingdom of Spain
save in accordance with the requirements of the Spanish Securities Market Law of
28 July 1988 (Ley24/1988, de 28 Julio, del Mercado de Valores) as amended and
restated, and Royal Decree 291/1992, of 27 March, on Issues and Public Offerings
of Securities (Real Decreto 291/1992, de 27 de marzo, sobre Emisiones y Ofertas
Publicas de Venta de Valores) as amended and restated and the decrees and
regulations made thereunder. Neither the Class A-1 Notes nor the Prospectus have
been verified or registered in the administrative registries of the Spanish
Securities Markets Commission (Comision Nacional del Maercado de Valores).
Accordingly, the Class A-1 Notes may not be sold, offered or distributed in
Spain except in circumstances which do not constitute a public offer of
securities in Spain within the meaning of the Spanish Securities Market Law and
further relevant legislation or without complying with all legal and regulatory
requirements in relation thereto.



                                       24



         (k)   Each Underwriter (severally and not jointly) acknowledges that no
representation is made by the Issuer Trustee or any St.George Party that any
action has been or will be taken in any jurisdiction outside the United States
by the Issuer Trustee or any Underwriter that would permit a public offering of
the Class A-1 Notes, or possession or distribution of the Prospectus or any
other offering material, in any country or jurisdiction where action for that
purpose is required. Each underwriter (severally and not jointly) agrees that:
the distribution of the Prospectus and the offering and sale of the Class A-1
Notes in certain other foreign jurisdictions may be restricted by law. The Class
A-1 Notes may not be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, and neither this
Prospectus nor any form of application, advertisement or other offering material
may be issued, distributed or published in any country or jurisdiction, unless
permitted under all applicable laws and regulations. Each underwriter agrees
(severally and not jointly) to comply with all applicable securities laws and
regulations in each jurisdiction in which it purchases, offers, sells or
delivers Class A-1 Notes or possesses or distributes the Prospectus or any other
offering material.


     11. Certain Matters Relating to the Issuer Trustee. The Issuer Trustee
     enters into this Agreement only in its capacity as trustee of the Trust and
     in no other capacity. A liability arising under or in connection with this
     Agreement or the Trust is limited to and can be enforced against the Issuer
     Trustee only to the extent to which it can be satisfied out of assets and
     property of the Trust which are available to satisfy the right of the
     Issuer Trustee to be exonerated or indemnified for such liability. This
     limitation of the Issuer Trustee's liability applies despite any other
     provisions of this Agreement and extends to all liabilities and obligations
     of the Issuer Trustee in any way connected with any representation,
     warranty, conduct, omission, agreement or Transaction related to this
     Agreement or the Trust.

         The parties other than the Issuer Trustee may not sue the Issuer
Trustee in any capacity other than as trustee of the Trust or seek the
appointment of a receiver (except under the Security Trust Deed) or a
liquidator, an administrator or any other similar person to the Issuer Trustee
or prove in any liquidation, administration or arrangements of or affecting the
Issuer Trustee.

         The provisions of this Section 11 shall not apply to any obligation or
liability of the Issuer Trustee to the extent that it is not satisfied because
under a Basic Document or by operation of law there is a reduction in the extent
of the Issuer Trustee's indemnification or exoneration out of the assets of the
Trust as a result of the Issuer Trustee's fraud, negligence or Default (as
defined in the Master Trust Deed).

         It is acknowledged that the Trust Manager, the Approved Seller, the
Servicer, the Custodian, the Currency Swap Provider, the Redraw Facility
Provider, the Swap Providers, the Note Trustee, the Principal Paying Agent, the
other Paying Agents, the Note Registrar, the Calculation Agent, and the Agent
Bank (each, a "RELEVANT PARTY") are responsible under the Transaction Documents
(as defined in the Master Trust Deed) for performing a variety of obligations
relating to the Trust. No act or omission of the Issuer Trustee (including any
related failure to satisfy its obligations under the Transaction Documents) will
be considered fraud, negligence or Default (as defined in the Master Trust
Agreement) of the Issuer Trustee for the purpose of this Agreement to the extent
to which the act or omission was caused or contributed




                                       25




to by any failure by any Relevant Party or any other person who has been
delegated or appointed by the Issuer Trustee in accordance with the Transaction
Documents (as defined in the Master Trust Deed) to fulfill its obligations
relating to the Trust or by any other act or omission of a Relevant Party or by
any other such person.

     12. Consent to Jurisdiction; Appointment of Agent to Accept Service of
     Process; Satisfaction of Obligations in United States Dollars.

         Each of the St.George Parties and the Issuer Trustee hereby submits to
the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Federal and state courts in the Borough of
Manhattan in The City of New York in any suit or proceeding arising out of or
relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Each of the
St.George Parties and the Issuer Trustee irrevocably appoints CT Corporation,
111 Eighth Avenue, 13th Floor, New York, New York 10011, as its authorized agent
in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York upon which process may be
served in any such suit or proceeding, and agrees that service of process upon
such agent, and written notice of said service to it by the person serving the
same to the address provided in Section 16, shall be deemed in every respect
effective service of process upon it in any such suit or proceeding. Each of the
St.George Parties and the Issuer Trustee further agrees to take any and all
action as may be necessary to maintain such designation and appointment of such
agent in full force and effect for so long as the Class A-1 Notes remain
outstanding.

         The obligation of any of the St.George Parties or the Issuer Trustee in
respect of any sum due to any Underwriter shall, notwithstanding any judgment in
a currency other than United States dollars, not be discharged until the first
business day, following receipt by such Underwriter of any sum adjudged to be so
due in such other currency, on which (and only to the extent that) such
Underwriter may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase United
States dollars with such other currency; if the United States dollars so
purchased are less than the sum originally due to such Underwriter hereunder,
each of the St.George Parties and the Issuer Trustee agrees, as a separate
obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Underwriter
against such loss.

     13. Foreign Taxes. All payments to be made by the Issuer Trustee and any
     St.George Party hereunder shall be made without withholding or deduction
     for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties or governmental
     charges whatsoever unless the Issuer Trustee or such St.George Party, as
     applicable, is compelled by law to deduct or withhold such taxes, duties or
     charges. In that event, the Issuer Trustee or such St.George Party, as
     applicable, shall pay such additional amounts as may be necessary in order
     that the net amounts received after such withholding or deduction shall
     equal the amounts that would have been received if no withholding or
     deduction had been made.

     14. Waiver of Immunities. To the extent that any of the Issuer Trustee and
     St.George Parties or any of their properties, assets or revenues may have
     or may hereafter become entitled to, or have attributed to it, any right of
     immunity, on the grounds of sovereignty or otherwise, from any legal
     action, suit or proceeding, from the giving of any relief in any respect
     thereof, from setoff or counterclaim, from the jurisdiction of any court,
     from service of process, from attachment upon or prior to judgment, from
     attachment in aid of execution of judgment, or from execution of judgment,
     or other legal process or proceeding for the giving of any relief or




                                       26



     for the enforcement of any judgment, in any jurisdiction in which
     proceedings may at any time be commenced, with respect to its obligations,
     liabilities or any other matter under or arising out of or in connection
     this Agreement, the Issuer Trustee and the St.George Parties, as
     applicable, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not
     to plead or claim, any such immunity and consents to such relief and
     enforcement.

     15. Judgment Currency. If any judgment or order in any legal proceeding
     against any of the Issuer Trustee and the St.George Parties is given or
     made for any amount due hereunder and such judgment or order is expressed
     and paid in a currency (the "JUDGMENT CURRENCY") other than United States
     dollars and there is any variation as between (i) the rate of exchange (the
     "JUDGMENT RATE") at which the United States dollar amount is converted into
     Judgment Currency for the purpose of such judgment or order, and (ii) the
     rate of exchange (the "MARKET RATE") at which the person to whom such
     amounts is paid (the "PAYEE") is able to purchase United States dollars
     with the amount of the Judgment Currency actually received by the holder,
     then the difference, expressed in United States dollars, between such
     amount calculated at the Judgment Rate and such amount calculated at the
     Market Rate shall be indemnified (a) if negative by the Issuer Trustee and
     the St.George Parties, as applicable, to the Payee and (b) if positive by
     the Payee to the Issuer Trustee and the St.George Parties, as applicable.
     The foregoing indemnity shall constitute a separate and independent
     obligation of the Issuer Trustee, the Trust Manager and St.George or the
     Payee, as the case may be, and shall continue in full force and effect
     notwithstanding any such judgment or order as aforesaid. The term "RATE OR
     EXCHANGE" shall include any premiums and costs of exchange payable in
     connection with the purchase of, or conversion into, the relevant currency.

     16. Absence of Fiduciary Relationship. St.George, the Issuer Trustee and
     the Trust Manager each acknowledge and agree that the Underwriters are
     acting solely in the capacity of an arm's length contractual counterparty
     to each of St.George, the Issuer Trustee and the Trust Manager with respect
     to the offering of the Class A-1 Notes contemplated hereby (including in
     connection with determining the terms of the offering) and not as a
     financial advisor or a fiduciary to, or an agent of, St.George, the Issuer
     Trustee, the Trust Manager or any other person. Additionally, neither the
     Representative nor any other Underwriter is advising St.George, the Issuer
     Trustee, the Trust Manager or any other person as to any legal, tax,
     investment, accounting or regulatory matters in any jurisdiction. Each of
     St.Geroge, the Issuer Trustee and the Trust Manager shall consult with its
     own respective advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible
     for making their own independent investigation and appraisal of the
     transactions contemplated hereby, and the Underwriters shall have no
     responsibility or liability to St.George, the Issuer Trustee or the Trust
     Manager with respect thereto. Any review by the Underwriters of St.George,
     the Issuer Trustee or the Trust Manager, the transactions contemplated
     hereby or other matters relating to such transactions will be performed
     solely for the benefit of the Underwriters and shall not be on behalf of
     St.George, the Issuer Trustee and the Trust Manager.

     17. Notices. All communications hereunder will be in writing and, if sent
     to the Underwriters, will be mailed, delivered or telegraphed and confirmed
