   As Representative of the several
   Underwriters Listed in Schedule A
Eleven Madison Avenue
New York, New York 10010
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

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. 1 of
     2007 (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. 1 of 2007 (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. $1,450,000,000
     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 (euro)600,000,000 Class A-2 Mortgage Backed Floating Rate
     Notes, its A$700,000,000 Class A-3 Mortgage Backed Floating Rate Notes, its
     A$64,600,000 Class B Notes and its A$29,500,000 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 February 14, 2007 (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 March 5, 2007 and a supplementary terms notice, to
     be dated on or about March 13, 2007 (the "SUPPLEMENTARY TERMS NOTICE"),
     each among the Issuer Trustee, St.George and the Trust Manager, which set
     forth specific provisions regarding the Trust and detail the provisions of
     the Notes. The Note Trust Deed, to be dated on or about March 13, 2007 (the
     "NOTE TRUST DEED") by and among the Issuer Trustee, the Trust Manager and
     Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (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 is sometimes referred to as a "ST.GEORGE PARTY," and
     collectively, they are sometimes referred to herein as the "ST.GEORGE
     PARTIES."

          The Trust Manager has prepared and filed with the U.S. 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 on Form S-3 (No. 333-128920), including a form of prospectus
supplement and a base prospectus. The registration statement as amended at the
time when it became effective, or, if any post-effective amendment has been
filed with respect thereto, as amended by the most recent post-effective
amendment at the time of its effectiveness, is referred to in this Agreement as
the "REGISTRATION STATEMENT", the form of base prospectus included in the
Registration Statement as most recently filed with the SEC is referred to as the
"BASE PROSPECTUS" and the form of the prospectus which includes the Base
Prospectus and a prospectus supplement describing the Class A-1 Notes and the
offering thereof (the "FINAL PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT") which prospectus is first
filed on or after the date of this Agreement in accordance with Rule 424(b) is
referred to in this Agreement as the "FINAL PROSPECTUS". The preliminary form of
the Prospectus Supplement dated February 23, 2007 (the "INITIAL PRELIMINARY
PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT") as supplemented by the preliminary supplements thereto
dated March 6, 2007 and March 7, 2007 respectively (the "SUPPLEMENTED
PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT") is referred to as the "PRELIMINARY
PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT" and, together with the Base Prospectus, the "PRELIMINARY
PROSPECTUS." 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 Final Prospectus. "EFFECTIVE DATE"
shall mean the earlier of the date on which the Final Prospectus is first used
and the time of the first Contract of Sale to which such Final Prospectus
relates. "RULE 424" refers to such rule under the Securities Act. "CONTRACT OF
SALE" has the same meaning as in Rule 159 of the Securities Act and all
Commission guidance relating thereto. "FREE WRITING PROSPECTUS" shall have the
meaning given such term in Rules 405 and 433 of the Securities Act.

          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.


                                        2



          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 the information
               contained in the Preliminary Prospectus and the Final Prospectus
               under the heading "The Issuer Trustee, St.George Bank and the
               Manager" was provided, 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 Preliminary Prospectus and
               the Final Prospectus, which would affect that information 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.

               (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 for it to carry on its business as described in
               the Preliminary Prospectus and the Final Prospectus, for it to
               issue the Class A-1 Notes, for it to act as required by each
               Basic Document to which it is or is to be a party and, by law,
               for it 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


                                        3



               of creditors' rights generally and to general equitable
               principles. Each of the Basic Documents to which the Issuer
               Trustee is a party has 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 and assuming for this
               purpose that the representations and warranties contained in
               Section 2.II.(h) hereof are true and correct, 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 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 have been made 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.

               (f) Other than as set forth or contemplated in the Preliminary
               Prospectus and the Final 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


                                        4



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


                                        5



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

               (a) The Trust Manager filed the Registration Statement with the
               Commission pursuant to the Securities Act. The Trust Manager
               filed the Preliminary Prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b) under
               the Securities Act. The Trust Manager will file the Final
               Prospectus with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under
               Securities Act.

               (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 Final 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 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 Final 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 Final 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 Final
               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).

               (c) Except as described in the Preliminary Prospectus and the
               Final Prospectus, since the respective dates as of which
               information is given in the Preliminary Prospectus and the Final
               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 Preliminary Prospectus and the Final Prospectus and to enter
               into and

               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, the Note Trust
               Deed will be timely and duly qualified under the Trust Indenture
               Act (upon filing with the Commission) 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 Preliminary Prospectus and the
               Final 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 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


                                        7



               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) Other than as set forth or contemplated in the Preliminary
               Prospectus and the Final 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, 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 a material adverse
               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 Final 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.

               (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


                                        8



               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 Final Prospectus).

               (p) Since February 15, 2007, 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.

               (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 Preliminary Prospectus
               and the Final Prospectus, will not be an "INVESTMENT COMPANY" as
               defined in the Investment Company Act.

               (s) The Trust Manager was not, as of any date on which a bona
               fide offer (as such term is used in Rule 164(h)(2) of the
               Securities Act) of the Class A-1 Notes was made, an "ineligible
               issuer" as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities 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


                                        9



     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 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(j) hereof, compliance with
     Section 10(j) 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 fully registered, global
book-entry notes (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 Preliminary Prospectus and the Final 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 National Westminster 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 March 15, 2007, 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 Trust Manager 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 Preliminary Prospectus and
     the Final Prospectus.

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

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 shall file the Final Prospectus, properly
          completed, with the Commission pursuant to and in accordance with
          subparagraph (5) of Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act no later than
          the second business day following the date it is first used. 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,
          the Preliminary Prospectus or the Final Prospectus, and subject to
          Section 5.I.(c) hereof, will not effect such amendment or
          supplementation without the Representative's consent (which will not
          be unreasonably


                                       10



          withheld); 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.

          (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, the Trust Manager becomes
          aware of the occurrence of any event as a result of which the Final
          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 Final 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) The Trust Manager will furnish to the Representative copies of the
          Registration Statement and each amendment (which will include all
          exhibits), the 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 Final Prospectus and all amendments and supplements to such
          documents, in each case in such reasonable quantities as the
          Representative requests; provided, however, that if the Final
          Prospectus is not delivered with the confirmation in accordance with
          Rule 172 under the Securities Act, the Underwriters will provide the
          notice specified in Section 5.III.(b) in every confirmation and will
          deliver a paper copy of the Final Prospectus to those investors that
          request a paper copy thereof. The Final Prospectus and any amendments
          or supplements thereto, shall be so furnished on or prior to 3:00
          P.M., New York time, on or prior to, the later to occur of the second
          business day following the execution and delivery of this Agreement or
          the date such Final Prospectus is first used, but in no event later
          than the day before the Closing Date. 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.

          (e) The Trust Manager will endeavor to qualify the Class A-1 Notes for
          offer and sale and under the securities and Blue Sky laws of such
          jurisdictions as the Representative designates and will continue such
          qualification in effect so long as is reasonably required for the
          distribution; provided the Trust Manager shall not be required to file
          a general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction.

          (f) 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


                                       11



          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 any
          governmental or regulatory authority or any national securities
          exchange, and (v) from time to time such other information concerning
          the Trust or the Trust Manager as the Representative may reasonably
          request.

          (g) 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.

          (h) 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.

          (i) 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.

          (j) 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 the Preliminary Prospectus and the
          Final Prospectus (including any amendments and supplements thereto) to
          the Underwriters.

          (k) 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.


                                       12



          (l) 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.

          (m) The Trust Manager will file the information substantially similar
          to the information set forth on Schedule B (the "REVISED
          INFORMATION"), not later than the date of first use thereof, provided
          however, that prior to the filing of the Revised Information by the
          Trust Manager, the Underwriters must comply with their obligations
          pursuant to Section 5.III.(c); provided, however, that the Trust
          Manager shall not be obligated to file the Revised Information if such
          Revised Information has been determined to contain any material error
          or omission unless the Revised Information has been provided to a
          Potential Investor (as defined herein), in which case, the Trust
          Manager shall file the corrective information provided by the
          Underwriter pursuant to Section 5.III.(d) not later than the date of
          first use thereof.

          (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 Preliminary Prospectus and
          the Final 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.


                                       13



          (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.

     III. Each of the several Underwriters, for itself only, represents,
     warrants and agrees with the St.George Parties and the Issuer Trustee as
     follows:

          (a) Other than the Initial Preliminary Prospectus (as defined herein),
          the Preliminary Prospectus, the Final Prospectus, the Revised
          Information and the information set forth on Schedule C (the "INITIAL
          INFORMATION"), such Underwriter has not conveyed and will not convey,
          without the Trust Manager's prior written approval, to any potential
          investor in the Class A-1 Notes (each a "POTENTIAL INVESTOR") any
          other written material of any kind relating to the Class A-1 Notes
          that would constitute a "prospectus" or a "free writing prospectus,"
          each as defined in the Securities Act and Rule 405 thereunder, as
          applicable, including, but not limited to the materials constituting a
          "road show" presentation to Potential Investors (other than use or
          transmission of such written or electronic materials as part of a live
          or electronic road show in which representatives from the Trust
          Manager participated) and any "ABS informational and computational
          materials" within the meaning of Item 1101(a) of Regulation AB
          promulgated by the Commission under the Securities Act and the
          Exchange Act; provided, however, that, in addition to the foregoing,
          such Underwriter may convey to one or more of its Potential Investors
          information permitted by Rule 134 under the Securities Act.

          (b) Prior to the Closing Date each Underwriter shall notify the Trust
          Manager or St.George of the earlier of (x) the date on which the Final
          Prospectus is first used and (y) the time of the first Contract of
          Sale to which such Final Prospectus relates.

          (c) The Underwriters shall deliver the Initial Information and the
          Revised Information (including any corrected Revised Information to
          the extent described in Section 5.I.(m)) to the Trust Manager and its
          counsel (in such format as reasonably required by the Trust Manager)
          prior to the proposed date of first use thereof (unless such timing
          requirement is waived by the Trust Manager).

          (d) If the Revised Information has been determined to contain any
          material error or omission and the Revised Information has been
          provided to a Potential Investor, the Underwriters shall cooperate
          with the Trust Manager to prepare corrective information that the
          Underwriters will provide to any such Potential Investor. In the event
          that an Underwriter becomes aware that, as of the date on which an
          investor entered into a


                                       14



          Contract of Sale, the Initial Information or the Revised Information
          contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state
          a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained
          therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
          misleading, such Underwriter shall notify the Trust Manager thereof as
          soon as practical but in any event within one business day after
          discovery.

          (e) Each Underwriter represents that it will offer the Class A-1 Notes
          for sale to the public as set forth in the Final Prospectus and that
          all such offers and sales shall be made in compliance with the
          Securities Act.

          (f) Each Underwriter covenants with the Trust Manager and the Issuer
          Trustee that after the Final Prospectus is available such Underwriter
          shall not distribute any written information concerning the Class A-1
          Notes to a Potential Investor unless such information is preceded or
          accompanied by the Final Prospectus.

          (g) (i) If the Final Prospectus is not delivered with the confirmation
          in reliance on Rule 172 under the Securities Act, it will include in
          every confirmation sent out the notice required by Rule 173 under the
          Securities Act informing the investor that the sale was made pursuant
          to the Registration Statement and that the investor may request a copy
          of the Final Prospectus from such Underwriter; (ii) if a paper copy of
          the Final Prospectus is requested by a person who receives a
          confirmation, such Underwriter shall deliver a printed or paper copy
          of such Prospectus; and (iii) if an electronic copy of the Final
          Prospectus is delivered by such Underwriter for any purpose, such copy
          shall be identical to the copy of the Final Prospectus that is
          provided to such Underwriter by the Trust Manager for such purpose.

          (h) Each of the several Underwriters, for itself only, further agrees
          not to accept any offer to purchase Class A-1 Notes from a Potential
          Investor prior to the delivery of the Initial Preliminary Prospectus
          and the Preliminary Prospectus to such Potential Investor within the
          time limits set forth in Section 10(k).

          (i) If a St.George Party or an Underwriter determines or becomes aware
          that any "written communication" (as defined in Rule 405 under the
          Securities Act) (including without limitation the Preliminary
          Prospectus) or oral statement (when considered in conjunction with all
          information conveyed at the time of Contract of Sale) made or prepared
          by the St.George Parties or such Underwriter contains an untrue
          statement of material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary
          to make the statements, in light of the circumstances under which they
          were made, not misleading at the time that a Contract of Sale was
          entered into, either such St.George Party or such Underwriter may
          prepare corrective information acceptable to both parties (the
          "CORRECTIVE INFORMATION"), and such Underwriter shall deliver such
          Corrective Information, in a manner reasonably acceptable to both
          parties, to any person with whom a Contract of Sale was entered into
          based on such written communication or oral statement, and such
          information shall provide any such person with the following:

               (1)  adequate disclosure of the contractual arrangement;


                                       15



               (2)  adequate disclosure of the person's rights under the
                    existing Contract of Sale at the time termination is sought;

               (3)  adequate disclosure of the new information that is necessary
                    to correct the misstatements or omissions in the information
                    given at the time of the original Contract of Sale; and

               (4)  a meaningful ability to elect to terminate or not terminate
                    the prior Contract of Sale and to elect to enter into or not
                    enter into a new Contract of Sale.

          Any costs incurred in connection with any such termination or
          reformation shall be borne by the St.George Parties; provided,
          however, that the Underwriters shall bear any costs incurred in
          connection with any such termination or reformation that is
          necessitated by a material misstatement or omission in the Underwriter
          Information (as defined herein).

          (j) Each Underwriter shall covenant not to distribute the Initial
          Information in a manner reasonably designed to lead to its broad
          unrestricted dissemination.

     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:

          (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 prior to 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 Preliminary Prospectus and the Final Prospectus
          (including any amendments or supplements thereto) shall have been
          transmitted to the Commission for filing pursuant to Rule 424(b)
          within the applicable time period prescribed for such filings by the
          Securities Act and in accordance with Section 5.I.(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


                                       16



          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 on
          the terms and in the manner contemplated by the Preliminary Prospectus
          and the Final Prospectus; (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 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 an authorized officer of the Issuer Trustee in which
          such officer, to the best of its knowledge after reasonable
          investigation, shall state that: (i) the representations and
          warranties of such entity in this Agreement are true and correct; and
          (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.

          (d) 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 in which such officers, to the best of
          their knowledge after reasonable investigation, shall state that
          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, in the condition (financial or other),
          business, properties or results of operations of such entity and its
          subsidiaries taken as a whole except as set forth in or contemplated
          by the Preliminary Prospectus and the Final Prospectus or as described
          in such certificate.

          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 the Registration Statement or arise out of
          or are based upon the omission or alleged omission


                                       19



          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 Preliminary Prospectus or the Final Prospectus or any
          amendment or supplement thereto, 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
          the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
          misleading (other than, with respect to the Preliminary Prospectus,
          the blanks and other items identified in the Preliminary Prospectus as
          to be completed in the Final Prospectus), 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 each of the Preliminary
          Prospectus and the Final Prospectus under the heading "Hedging
          Arrangements--The Currency Swaps--National Westminster Bank Plc," and
          provided, further, that with respect to any untrue statement or
          alleged untrue statement in or omission or alleged omission from the
          Preliminary Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or the
          Final Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), as
          applicable, the indemnity agreement contained in this paragraph (a)
          shall not inure to the benefit of any Underwriter, to the extent that
          the Initial Preliminary Prospectus (as defined herein), the
          Preliminary Prospectus, the Final Prospectus or Corrective
          Information, as applicable, was required to be delivered by such
          Underwriter pursuant to Section 10(k) 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
          purchaser of Class A-1 Notes a copy of the Initial Preliminary
          Prospectus (as defined herein), the Preliminary Prospectus, the Final
          Prospectus or Corrective Information, as applicable (and any
          amendments or supplements thereto), in accordance with the delivery
          requirements set forth in Section 10(k), if the Trust Manager had
          previously furnished copies thereof to such Underwriter prior to the
          time such Underwriter was required to deliver the Initial Preliminary
          Prospectus (as defined herein), the Preliminary Prospectus, the Final
          Prospectus or Corrective Information, as applicable, (and any
          amendments or supplements thereto), pursuant to Section 10(k).

          (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 (A)


                                       20



          (i) a breach of any of the selling restrictions by the applicable
          Underwriter set forth in Section 10 or (ii) any information conveyed
          by an Underwriter to any investor which is not permitted pursuant to
          the provisions of Section 5.III.(a), or (B) (i) any untrue statement
          or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the
          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 Preliminary Prospectus (or any
          amendments or supplements thereto) or the Final Prospectus (or any
          amendments or supplements thereto), 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, 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 Preliminary Prospectus and the
          Final Prospectus furnished on behalf of each Underwriter: (x) the
          concession and reallowance percentages appearing in the fourth
          paragraph under the heading "Plan of Distribution" and (y) the
          information contained in the eighth and ninth paragraphs under the
          heading "Plan of Distribution" (the "UNDERWRITER INFORMATION");
          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


                                       21



          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 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 each of the Preliminary
          Prospectus and the Final Prospectus under the heading "Hedging
          Arrangements--The Currency Swaps--National Westminster 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


                                       22



          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 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 be
          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, and not jointly, 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.


                                       23



     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 6 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.

     10. Selling Restrictions.

          (a) No prospectus supplement, prospectus or other disclosure document
          in relation to any Class A-1 Notes has been lodged with the Australian
          Securities and Investments Commission or the Australian Securities
          Exchange. The Class A-1 Notes may not, in connection with their
          initial distribution, be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, in
          the Commonwealth of Australia, its territories or possessions, or to
          any resident of Australia. Each Underwriter severally, and not
          jointly, represents and agrees that it:

               (1) has not, directly or indirectly, offered for issue or sale or
               invited applications for the issue of or for offers to purchase
               nor has it sold, the Class A-1 Notes;

               (2) will not, directly or indirectly, offer for issue or sale or
               invited applications for the issue of or for offers to purchase
               nor will it sell the Class A-1 Notes; and

               (3) has not distributed and will not distribute any draft,
               preliminary or definitive prospectus, or any advertisement or
               other offering material relating to the Class A-1 Notes,

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

                    (1) 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


                                       24



                    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

                    (2) 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 Securities
                    Exchange.

                         (b) Each Underwriter severally, and 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 registered scheme).

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.

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, and 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
          the Underwriter offering those Class A-1 Notes for sale to at least 10

                    statement which sets out the details of the relevant offer.

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

               from the lodgment of the income tax return by the Issuer Trustee
               for the financial year ending 30 September 2007.

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

               (1) it has complied with and will comply with all applicable
               provisions of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (the

               with the issue or sale of any 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, acknowledges that (1)
          the Preliminary Prospectus and the Final Prospectus have not been and
          will not be registered as a prospectus with the Monetary Authority of

          distributed or circulated by it nor will the Class A-1 Notes be
          offered or sold, or be made the subject of an invitation for

          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.

          (h) 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 the laws 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 the laws 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
               purposes of issue, whether in Hong Kong or elsewhere, any

          Prospectus have been or will be approved 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 and will 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 artcicle 30-bis of the

                                       27




          (j) Each Underwriter severally, and not jointly, acknowledges that no
          action has been or will be taken to permit a public offering of the
          Class A-1 Notes, or possession or distribution of the Preliminary
          Prospectus and the Final 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 Preliminary Prospectus and the Final 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 the

          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 Preliminary Prospectus and the Final Prospectus or any
          other offering material.

               PROSPECTUS") to each person who purchases a Class A-1 Note (or an
               interest therein) from such Underwriter at least 48 hours prior
               to the Applicable Time (as defined herein);

               (2) the Preliminary Prospectus to each person who purchases a

               least four (4) hours prior to the Applicable Time;

               (3) the Final Prospectus in accordance with Section 5.III.(g)

          Parties is a time prior to the time of the first Contract of Sale of
          the Class A-1 Notes by an Underwriter).

     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.


                                       28



          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 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 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 17, 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


                                       29



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 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. Each of the Trust Manager and the
     Issuer Trustee acknowledges and agrees that:


                                       30



          (a) the Representative and each Underwriter has been retained solely
          to act as underwriter in connection with the sale of the Class A-1
          Notes and that no fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship between
          either the Trust Manager or the Issuer Trustee, on the one hand, and
          the Representative and each Underwriter, on the other hand, has been
          created in respect of any of the transactions contemplated by this
          Agreement, irrespective of whether the Representative or any
          Underwriter has advised or is advising the Trust Manager and/or the
          Issuer Trustee on other matters;

          (b) the price of the Class A-1 Notes set forth in this Agreement was
          established by the Representative and the Underwriters following
          discussions and arms-length negotiations with the Trust Manager, and

          conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

          (c) they have been advised that the Representative, each Underwriter

          each Underwriter has no obligation to disclose such interests and
          transactions to the Trust Manager and the Issuer Trustee by virtue of
