Issuer:	Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited.

Description:	An Australian Dollar denominated Debt Issuance Programme allowing for the issuance of Transferable Certificates of Deposit, Medium Term Notes (“Medium Term Notes”) or Subordinated Medium Term Notes (“Subordinated Notes”).

Programme Size:	Unlimited

Arranger:	ANZ Investment Bank

Dealers:	Australian and New Zealand Banking Group Limited

	Additional Dealers may be appointed, from time to time, by the Issuer for any Tranche of Securities.

Direct Issues by Issuer:	The Issuer may also issue Securities directly to purchasers or investors (as applicable) procured by it. Such purchasers will be required to confirm and acknowledge to the Issuer in writing that the issue of the Securities resulted from the Securities being offered for issue as a result of negotiations being initiated publicly in electronic form (eg Reuters or Bloomberg), or in another form that was used by financial markets for dealing in debentures.

Method of Issue or Acceptance of Securities:	Securities will be issued on a syndicated or a non-syndicated basis. Securities may be issued by the Issuer in one or more Series having one or more Issue Dates and on terms otherwise identical (or identical other than in respect of the first payment of interest and related matters described below), with the Securities of each Series being intended to be interchangeable with all other Securities of those Series. Each Series of Securities may be issued in Tranches on the same or different Issue Dates. The specific terms of each Tranche (which will be supplemented, where necessary, with supplemental terms and conditions and, save in respect of the Issue Date, Issue Price, first payment of interest and principal amount of the Tranche, will be identical to the terms of other Tranches of the same Series) will be set out in a pricing supplement to this Information Memorandum (a “Pricing Supplement”).

Issue Price:	Notes may be issued at their principal amount or at a discount or premium to their principal amount.

	Transferable Certificates of Deposit may be issued at their principal amount or at a discount or premium to their principal

		amount (where the principal amount is equal to the amount of the relevant Transferable Deposit accepted by the Issuer).

Form of Securities	Securities will be issued in registered form. Securities will be constituted by a Deed Poll dated 20 June 2001 as amended and restated on 11 April 2003, 23 April 2004 and 26 February 2007 and as further amended and/or restated and/or supplemented from time to time given by the Issuer for the benefit of the Registered Holders of those Securities from time to time and will take the form of entries on a Register maintained by the Registrar. A copy of the Deed Poll may be inspected during normal business hours at the offices of the Issuer or the Registrar or such other place or places as may be determined from time to time and notified to the Registered Holders. The terms and conditions of the Securities are contained in Schedule 1 to the Deed Poll and are modified and supplemented by the relevant Pricing Supplement.

Title:	Entry of the name of the person in the Register in respect of a Security constitutes the obtaining or passing of title and is conclusive evidence that the person so entered is the Registered Holder of the Securities. No certificates or other evidence of title will be issued to Registered Holders unless the Issuer determines that certificates should be made available or it is required to do so pursuant to any applicable law or regulation. Securities that are held in the Austraclear System will be registered in the name of Austraclear Limited and title to the Securities will be determined in accordance with the Austraclear Regulations.

Payments:	Payments will be made on the payment dates specified in the Pricing Supplement to the persons whose names are entered in the Register as at 5.00pm local Registry Office time on the relevant Record Date which is the 7th day before a payment date. Payments in respect of Securities lodged within the Austraclear System will be made by crediting the amount due to the account of the Registered Holder in accordance with the Austraclear Regulations. If Securities are not lodged in the Austraclear System, payments will be made to the account of the Registered Holder noted on the Register. If no account is notified then payments will be made by cheque mailed on the Business Day immediately preceding the relevant Interest Payment Date or on the Maturity Date (as applicable) to the Registered Holder at its address appearing on the Register as at 5.00pm local Registry Office time on the relevant Record Date.

Maturities:	Any maturity, subject to compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. The Maturity Date applicable to each Tranche of Securities will be specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement.

Denominations:	Securities will be issued in such denominations as may be specified as the Specified Denominations in the relevant Pricing Supplement subject to compliance with all applicable

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

	Securities may only be issued in Australia if the aggregate consideration payable by the investor or purchaser (in the case of a Transferable Certificate of Deposit by way of a deposit with the Issuer) is at least A$500,000 (disregarding moneys lent by the Issuer or its associates) or if the Securities are otherwise issued in a manner that does not require disclosure to investors in accordance with Part 6D.2 and Part 7 of the Corporations Act.

	Securities may only be issued by the Issuer in a jurisdiction or jurisdictions other than Australia if the issue is in compliance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which the issue is made and the Securities are otherwise issued in a manner that does not require disclosure to investors under the laws of that jurisdiction or those jurisdictions.

Transfer of Securities	Securities may only be transferred in accordance with the Conditions.

	Transfers of Securities held in the Austraclear System or any other clearing system specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement will be made in accordance with the Austraclear Regulations or the rules and regulations of the relevant clearing system (as appropriate).

	In all other cases, applications for the transfer of Securities must be made by lodgement of a duly completed (if applicable) stamped transfer and acceptance form with the Registrar. Transfer and acceptance forms can be obtained from the Registrar. The transfer takes effect upon the transferee’s name being entered on the Register.

	Securities are only transferable within, to or from Australia in the denominations specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement and Securities may only be transferred within, to or from Australia if the aggregate consideration payable by the transferee at the time of transfer is at least A$500,000 (disregarding moneys lent by the transferor or its associates) or the transfer otherwise does not require disclosure to investors in accordance with Part 6D.2 and Part 7 of the Corporations Act.

	Securities may only be transferred between persons in a jurisdiction or jurisdictions other than Australia if the transfer is in compliance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which transfer takes place and the Securities are otherwise transferred in a manner that does not require disclosure to investors under the laws of that jurisdiction or jurisdictions.

Fixed Rate Securities:	Fixed Rate Securities will bear a fixed rate of interest payable in arrear on the Interest Payment Date or Dates in each year as specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement.

Floating Rate Securities:	Floating Rate Securities will bear interest set separately for each Series at a rate determined by reference to a rate appearing on an agreed screen page of a commercial quotation service or on such other basis as may be specified

	in the relevant Pricing Supplement, as adjusted by any applicable Margin. Interest Periods and Interest Payment Dates will be specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement.

Index Linked Securities:	Payments (whether in respect of principal or interest and whether at maturity or otherwise) in respect of, respectively, Index Linked Redemption Securities and Index Linked Interest Securities will be calculated by reference to such stock or commodity or other index, currency exchange rate and/or formula as the Issuer and the relevant Dealer or other investor may agree (as specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement).

Zero Coupon Securities:	Zero Coupon Securities may be issued at their Nominal Amount or at a discount to it and will not bear interest.
Interest Periods and Interest Rates:	The length of the Interest Periods for the Securities and the applicable Rate of Interest or its method of calculation may differ from time to time or be constant for any Series. Securities may have a Maximum Rate of Interest, a Minimum Rate of Interest or both. The use of Interest Accrual Periods permits the Security to bear interest at different rates in the same Interest Period. All such information will be set out in the relevant Pricing Supplement.
Other Securities:	The Issuer may from time to time issue Securities in a form not contemplated by “Conditions of the Securities” herein. Terms applicable to any other type of Security that the Issuer may agree to issue and any relevant Dealer(s) or other investor may agree to purchase under the Programme will be set out in the relevant Pricing Supplement.
Structured Security Risks:	The following paragraph does not describe all the risks of an investment in the Securities. Prospective depositors, investors or purchasers should consult their own financial and legal advisers about the risks associated with an investment in a particular Tranche of Securities and the suitability of investing in the Securities in light of their particular circumstances.

	An investment in Securities, the premium and/or the interest on or principal of which is determined by reference to one or more currencies, commodities, interest rates or other indices or formulae, either directly or indirectly, may entail significant risks not associated with similar investments in a conventional debt security, including the risks that the resulting interest rate and/or premium may be less than that payable on a conventional debt security at the same time and/or that an investor could lose all or a substantial portion of the principal of its Securities.

	Neither the current nor the historical value of the relevant currencies, commodities, interest rates or other indices or formulae should be taken as an indication of future performance of such currencies, commodities, interest rates or other indices or formulae during the term of any Security.

Optional Redemption:	The Pricing Supplement issued in respect of each Tranche of Securities will state whether such Securities may be redeemed (either in whole or in part) prior to their stated maturity at the option of the Issuer or the Registered Holders,

	and if so the terms applicable to such redemption.

Redemption by Instalments:	The Pricing Supplement in respect of each Series of Securities that are redeemable in two or more instalments will set out the Instalment Amounts in which and Instalment Dates on which the Securities may be redeemed.

Redemption for tax reasons:	In certain circumstances following notice by the Issuer, all of the Securities of a Series may be redeemed following any changes in tax law which give rise to an obligation of the Issuer to make any withholding or deduction (as provided in Condition 5.2 (Redemption for Taxation Reasons)).

Status of Notes:	The Issuer may elect to issue Notes that represent either unsubordinated debt or subordinated debt obligations, as specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement.

	Medium Term Notes

	Medium Term Notes will constitute direct, unconditional, unsubordinated and unsecured obligations of the Issuer ranking pari passu among themselves and (save for certain debts, including those in respect of the Issuer’s deposit liabilities in Australia, required to be preferred by law) with all present and future unsubordinated and unsecured obligations of the Issuer, all as more fully set out in Condition 3 (Status).

	Subordinated Notes

	Subordinated Notes will constitute direct and unsecured subordinated obligations of the Issuer and, unless otherwise specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement, rank pari passu among themselves and, unless otherwise specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement, rank at least pari passu with all other unsecured subordinated obligations incurred or assumed by the Issuer other than those mandatorily preferred by law. The claims of Subordinated Noteholders will, in the event of the winding up of the Issuer, be subordinated in right of payment to all Unsubordinated Creditors as more fully set out in Condition 3.3 (Status – Subordinated Notes), Condition 4.10 (Condition of Payment – Subordinated Notes) and Condition 11 (Subordination). In respect of Subordinated Notes, prior to the winding-up of the Issuer, the obligation of the Issuer to make payments (including of any principal, premium, additional amounts and interest) on the Subordinated Notes will be conditional on the Issuer being Solvent at the time of, and immediately after, such payment by the Issuer. Any such failure to pay will not be considered an Event of Default for the purposes of the Subordinated Notes.

	The Notes do not constitute deposit liabilities of the Issuer.

Status of Transferable Certificates of Deposit:	The Issuer is an “authorised deposit-taking institution” (an “*ADI”) as that term is defined under the Banking Act 1959 of the Commonwealth of Australia (the “Banking Act*”). Transferable Certificates of Deposit will constitute deposit liabilities in Australia of the Issuer for the purpose of section 13A of the Banking Act. That section provides that in the

	event of an ADI becoming unable to meet its obligations or suspending payment, the assets of the ADI in Australia shall be available to meet the ADI’s deposit liabilities in Australia in priority to all other liabilities of the ADI.

Cross Default:	The terms and conditions of the Medium Term Notes will contain a cross default clause in respect of indebtedness for borrowed money (excluding moneys borrowed in the ordinary course of banking business) having an aggregate principal amount of at least US$10,000,000 of the Issuer as more fully set out in Condition 10 (Events of Default).

2 FORM, DENOMINATION AND TITLE

2.1 Constitution

The Securities are registered debt obligations of the Issuer constituted by and owing under the Deed Poll. The obligations of the Issuer in respect of these Conditions and the relevant Pricing Supplement extend to each individual Security and, following on from that, the Registered Holder of each Security without the Registered Holder having to join forces with any other Registered Holder or any predecessor in title of that Registered Holder of a Security.

2.2 Title

Entry of the name of the person purchasing a Security, or the transferee of a Security on the Register at the relevant time will constitute the passing of title of that Security and will be conclusive evidence of that person’s entitlements to receive interest and repayment of principal in the manner provided for in these Conditions (subject to rectification for fraud or error). A Security registered in the name of more than one person is held by those persons as joint tenants (unless requested otherwise and in a form satisfactory to the Issuer). Securities will be registered by name only without reference to any trusteeship. Neither the Issuer nor the Registrar is, except as required by law, obliged to take notice of any other claim to a Security.

2.3 Independent Obligations

Each entry in the Register constitutes the separate and individual title of the Registered Holder to the indebtedness of the Issuer to that relevant Registered Holder.

2.4 Location of Register

The Register will be established and maintained by the Registrar at its Registry Office unless otherwise specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement.

2.5 Denomination

(i) Securities are issued in the Specified Denominations specified in the Pricing Supplement. Securities may only be sold in Australia if the aggregate consideration payable to the Issuer by the purchaser (in the case of a Transferable Certificate of Deposit by way of a deposit with the Issuer) is at least A$500,000 (disregarding moneys lent by the relevant Issuer or its associates) or if the Securities are otherwise sold in a manner which does not require disclosure to investors in accordance with Part 6D.2 and Part 7 of the Corporations Act.

(ii) Securities may only be issued by the Issuer in a jurisdiction or jurisdictions other than Australia if the issue is in compliance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which the issue or sale is made and the Securities are otherwise issued or sold in a manner that does not require disclosure to investors under the laws of that jurisdiction or those jurisdictions.

2.6 Austraclear

If Securities are lodged in the Austraclear System, the Registrar will enter Austraclear in the Register as the Registered Holder of those Securities. While those Securities remain in the Austraclear System, all dealings (including transfers and payments) in relation to those Securities within the Austraclear System will be governed by the regulations for the Austraclear System and need not comply with these Conditions to the extent of any inconsistency.

2.7 Certificates

No certificate or other evidence of title will be issued by or on behalf of the Issuer to evidence title to a Security unless the Issuer determines that such certificates should be made available or it is required to do so pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.

2.8 Acknowledgment

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

(i) the Registrar’s decision to act as the Registrar of the Security does not constitute a recommendation or endorsement by the Registrar or Austraclear in relation to the Security but only indicates that such Security is considered by the Registrar to be

compatible with the performance by it of its obligations as Registrar under its agreement with the Issuer to act as Registrar of the Security; and

(ii) the Registered Holder does not rely on any fact, matter or circumstance contrary to Condition 2.8(i).

2.9 Australian Securities Exchange Listing

Securities which are listed on the Australian Securities Exchange will not be transferred through or registered on CHESS and will not be CHESS approved securities. In the event that an interface between the Register maintained by the Registrar and CHESS is established the Conditions and any other Programme documents may be amended to facilitate settlement on CHESS and so that the Securities will become CHESS approved securities.

3. STATUS

The Securities may be Transferable Certificates of Deposit, Medium Term Notes or Subordinated Notes as specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement.

3.1 Transferable Certificates of Deposit

The Transferable Certificates of Deposit constitute deposit liabilities in Australia of the Issuer for the purpose of Section 13A of the Banking Act 1959 of the Commonwealth of Australia, which provides that in the event of the Issuer becoming unable to meet its obligations or suspending payment, the assets of the Issuer in Australia shall be available to meet the Issuer’s deposit liabilities in Australia in priority to all other liabilities of the Issuer.

3.2 Medium Term Notes

The Medium Term Notes constitute direct, unconditional and unsecured obligations of the Issuer and (save for certain debts, including those in respect of the Issuer’s deposit liabilities in Australia, required to be preferred by law) rank pari passu among themselves and equally with all other present and future unsecured obligations (other than subordinated obligations) of the Issuer, all as described in Condition 10 (Events of Default).

The Medium Term Notes rank senior to the Issuer’s subordinated obligations, including the Subordinated Notes.

3.3 Subordinated Notes

The Subordinated Notes constitute direct and unsecured subordinated obligations of the Issuer and, unless otherwise specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement, rank pari passu among themselves and, unless specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement, rank at least pari passu with all other unsecured subordinated obligations incurred or assumed by the Issuer other than those mandatorily preferred by law. In the event of the winding up of the Issuer (see Condition 11 (Subordination)) and prior to the commencement of the winding-up of the Issuer (see Condition 4.10) the principal amount of, any premium or interest on, and any other payments, including additional amounts, in respect of the Subordinated Notes will be subordinated in right of payment to the claims of all Unsubordinated Creditors but will rank prior to the claims of the holders of any subordinated obligations which rank or are expressed to rank junior to the claims of the Subordinated Creditors.

“Unsubordinated Creditors” means all creditors of the Issuer (including all depositors of the Issuer) other than:

(i) Subordinated Noteholders;

(ii) creditors whose claims against the Issuer rank pari passu with the claims of Subordinated Noteholders, which creditors shall be deemed to include all creditors,

present and future, to whom the Issuer is indebted where the terms of such indebtedness:

(a) provide that such indebtedness would become due and payable on a specified or determinable date or at the end of a specified or determinable period and that in the event of the winding up of the Issuer the claims of those creditors against the Issuer will be, or are expressed to be, subordinated in right of payment to the claims of all Unsubordinated Creditors of the Issuer; and

(b) do not provide that in the event of the winding up of the Issuer the claims of those creditors against the Issuer will rank, or are expressed to rank, ahead of or junior to the claims of any other Unsubordinated Creditors of the Issuer to whom the Issuer is indebted; and

(iii) creditors whose claims against the Issuer rank, or are expressed to rank, junior to the claims of the Subordinated Noteholders.

The Subordinated Noteholders have no contractual right to set off any sum at any time due and payable to them by the Issuer under or in relation to the Subordinated Notes against amounts owing by the Subordinated Noteholders to the Issuer.

The Subordinated Notes do not limit the amount of liabilities ranking senior to the Subordinated Notes that may be hereafter incurred or assumed by the Issuer.

As from the Maturity Date, the Rate of Interest for any overdue principal of such a Security shall be a rate per annum (expressed as a percentage) equal to the Amortisation Yield.

4.4 Accrual of Interest

Interest shall cease to accrue on each Security on the due date for redemption unless payment is improperly withheld or refused, in which event interest shall continue to accrue (as well after as before judgment) on the outstanding Nominal Amount of the Security at the Rate of Interest in the manner provided in this Condition 4 to the Relevant Date.

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

(i) If any Margin or Rate Multiplier is specified in the Pricing Supplement (either (x) generally, or (y) in relation to one or more Interest Accrual Periods), an adjustment shall be made to all Rates of Interest, in the case of (x), or the Rates of Interest for the specified Interest Accrual Periods, in the case of (y), calculated in accordance with 5.2 above by adding (if a positive number) or subtracting (if a negative number) the absolute value of such Margin or multiplying by such Rate Multiplier, subject always to the next paragraph;

(ii) If any Maximum or Minimum Rate of Interest, Instalment Amount or Early, Final or Optional Redemption Amount is specified in the Pricing Supplement, then any Rate of Interest, Instalment Amount or Early, Final or Optional Redemption Amount shall be subject to such maximum or minimum, as the case may be;

(iii) Subject to the requirements of applicable law, for the purposes of any calculations required pursuant to these Conditions (unless otherwise specified), (x) all percentages resulting from such calculations shall be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point (with halves being rounded up), (y) all figures shall be rounded to seven decimal places (with halves being rounded up) and (z) all currency amounts that fall due and payable shall be rounded to the nearest cent (with one half cent being rounded up).

4.6 Calculations

The amount of interest payable in respect of any Security for any Interest Accrual Period shall be calculated by multiplying the product of the Rate of Interest and the outstanding Nominal Amount of such Security by the Day Count Fraction, unless an Interest Amount (or a formula for its calculation) is specified in the Pricing Supplement in respect of such period, in which case the amount of interest payable in respect of such Security for such period shall equal such Interest Amount (or be calculated in accordance with such formula). Where any Interest Period comprises two or more Interest Accrual Periods, the amount of interest payable in respect of such Interest Period shall be the sum of the amounts of interest payable in respect of each of those Interest Accrual Periods.

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

As soon as practicable after the Relevant Time on each Interest Determination Date or such other time on such date as the Calculation Agent may be required to calculate any rate or amount, obtain any quotation or make any determination or calculation, it shall determine such rate and calculate the Interest Amounts in respect of each Specified Denomination of the Securities for the relevant Interest Accrual Period, calculate the Final Redemption Amount, Early Redemption Amount, Instalment Amount or Optional Redemption Amount, obtain such quotation or make such determination or calculation, as the case may be, and cause the Rate of Interest and the Interest Amounts for each Interest Accrual Period and the relevant Interest Payment Date and, if required to be calculated, the Final Redemption Amount, Early Redemption Amount, Instalment Amount or Optional Redemption Amount to be notified to the Issuer, the Registrar (which will then notify the Registered Holders of the calculation as required by the Issuer to the address of the Registered Holders recorded in the Register), any other Calculation Agent appointed in respect of the Securities that is to make a further calculation upon receipt of such information and, if the Securities are listed on a stock exchange and the rules of such exchange so require, such exchange as soon as possible after their determination but in no event later than (y) the commencement of the relevant Interest Accrual Period, if determined prior to such time in the case of notification to such exchange of a Rate of Interest and Interest Amount, or (z) in all other cases, the fourth Business Day after such determination. Where any Interest Payment Date or Interest Accrual Period is subject to adjustment pursuant to the application of a Business Day Convention, the Interest Amounts and the Interest Payment Date so published may subsequently be amended (or appropriate alternative arrangements

made by way of adjustment) without notice in the event of an extension or shortening of the Interest Accrual Period. If the Securities become due and payable under Condition 10 (Events of Default), the accrued interest and the Rate of Interest payable in respect of the Securities shall nevertheless continue to be calculated as previously in accordance with this Condition but no publication of the Rate of Interest or the Interest Amount so calculated need be made. The determination of any rate or amount, the obtaining of each quotation and the making of each determination or calculation by the Calculation Agent(s) shall (in the absence of manifest error) be final and binding upon all parties.

4.8 Calculation Agent and Reference Banks

The Issuer shall procure that there shall at all times be four Reference Banks (or such other number as may be required) with offices in the Relevant Financial Centre and one or more Calculation Agents if provision is made for them in the Pricing Supplement and for so long as any Security is outstanding. If any Reference Bank (acting through its relevant offices) is unable or unwilling to continue to act as a Reference Bank, then the Issuer shall appoint another Reference Bank with an office in the Relevant Financial Centre to act as such in its place. Where more than one Calculation Agent is appointed in respect of the Securities, references in these Conditions to the Calculation Agent shall be construed as each Calculation Agent performing its respective duties under the Conditions. If the Calculation Agent is unable or unwilling to act as such or if the Calculation Agent fails duly to establish the Rate of Interest for an Interest Accrual Period or to calculate any Interest Amount, Instalment Amount, Final Redemption Amount, Early Redemption Amount or Optional Redemption Amount or to comply with any other requirement, the Issuer shall appoint a leading bank or investment banking firm engaged in the interbank market (or, if appropriate, money, swap or over-the-counter index options market) that is most closely connected with the calculation or determination to be made by the Calculation Agent to act as such in its place. The Calculation Agent may not resign its duties without a successor having been appointed as aforesaid.

4.9 Certificates to be final

All certificates, communications, opinions, determinations, calculations, quotations and decisions given, expressed, made or obtained for the purposes of the provisions of this Condition 4 shall (in the absence of wilful default, bad faith or manifest error) be binding on the Issuer, the Calculation Agent, the Registrar and all Registered Holders, and (in the absence of wilful default, bad faith or manifest error) no liability to the Issuer or the Registered Holders, shall attach to the Calculation Agent in connection with the exercise or non-exercise by it of its powers, duties and discretions pursuant to such provisions.

4.10 Conditions of Payment – Subordinated Notes

Prior to the commencement of the winding-up of the Issuer (other than under or in connection with a scheme of amalgamation or reconstruction not involving bankruptcy or insolvency):

(i) the obligations of the Issuer to make payments of principal of, any premium or interest on, and any other payments, including additional amounts, in respect of the Subordinated Notes will be conditional on the Issuer being Solvent at the time of payment by the Issuer; and

(ii) no payment of principal of, any premium or interest on, and any other payments, including additional amounts, in respect of the Subordinated Notes shall be made unless the Issuer is Solvent immediately after making the payment,

and if, pursuant to this Condition, the Issuer fails to make any payment of principal of, or premium or interest on, or any other payment, including additional amounts, in respect of any Subordinated Note when due, such failure will not constitute an Event of Default for the purposes of Condition 10.2(ii).

A certificate signed by the Issuer, two authorized signatories or an auditor of the Issuer or, if the Issuer is being wound up, its liquidator as to whether the Issuer is Solvent at any time is (in the

absence of willful default, bad faith or manifest error) conclusive evidence of the information contained in the certificate and will be binding on the Subordinated Noteholders. In the absence of any such certificate, the Subordinated Noteholders are entitled to assume (unless the contrary is proved) that the Issuer is Solvent at the time of, and will be Solvent immediately after, any payment on or in respect of the Subordinated Notes.

5. REDEMPTION, PURCHASE AND OPTIONS

5.1 Redemption by Instalments and Final Redemption

(i) Unless previously redeemed, purchased and cancelled as provided in this Condition 5 or unless the relevant Instalment Date (being one of the dates so specified in the Pricing Supplement) is extended pursuant to the Conditions or any provision of the relevant Pricing Supplement, each Security that provides for Instalment Dates and Instalment Amounts shall be partially redeemed on each Instalment Date at the related Instalment Amount specified in the Pricing Supplement. The outstanding Nominal Amount of each such Security shall be reduced by the Instalment Amount (or, if such Instalment Amount is calculated by reference to a proportion of the Nominal Amount of such Security, such proportion) for all purposes with effect from the related Instalment Date, unless payment of the Instalment Amount is improperly withheld or refused, in which case, such amount shall remain outstanding until the Relevant Date relating to such Instalment Amount.

(ii) Unless previously redeemed, purchased and cancelled as provided below or its maturity is extended pursuant to the Conditions or any provision of the relevant Pricing Supplement, each Security shall be finally redeemed on the Maturity Date specified in the Pricing Supplement at its Final Redemption Amount or, in the case of a Security falling within paragraph (i) above, its final Instalment Amount.

5.2 Redemption for taxation reasons

If, as a result of any change in or amendment to the laws or regulations of the Commonwealth of Australia or any political subdivision or any authority thereof or therein having power to tax, or any change in the application or official interpretation of such laws or regulations, which change or amendment becomes effective on or after the Issue Date of any Security (as specified in the Pricing Supplement), the Issuer has or will become obliged to pay any additional amounts as provided in Condition 8 (Taxation), the Issuer may at its option, at any time (if the Security is neither a Floating Rate Security nor an Index Linked Interest Security) or on any Interest Payment Date (in the case of Floating Rate Securities or Index Linked Interest Securities) on giving not more than 60 nor less than 30 days’ notice to the Registered Holders of the relevant Series (which notice shall be irrevocable) redeem all, but not some only, of the Securities of the relevant Series at their Early Redemption Amount together with interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption, provided that no such notice of redemption shall be given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer would be obliged to pay such additional amounts were a payment in respect of the Securities then due. Prior to the publication of any notice of redemption pursuant to this Condition 5.2, the Issuer shall deliver to the Registrar a certificate signed by two persons each of whom is either a Director, a Senior Executive or an authorised representative (or equivalent status) of the Issuer stating that the Issuer is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of the facts showing that the conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer so to redeem have occurred.

5.3 Early Redemption of Zero Coupon Securities

(i) The Early Redemption Amount payable in respect of any Zero Coupon Security that does not bear interest prior to the Maturity Date, the Early Redemption Amount of which is not linked to an index and/or a formula, upon redemption of such Security pursuant to Condition 5.2, 5.4 or 5.5 or upon it becoming due and payable as provided in Condition 10 (Events of Default), shall be the Amortised Face Amount (calculated as provided below) of such Security unless otherwise specified in the Pricing Supplement.

(ii) Subject to the provisions of sub-paragraph (iii) below, the “Amortised Face Amount” of any such Security shall be the scheduled Final Redemption Amount of such Security on the Maturity Date discounted to the date of its early redemption at a rate per annum (expressed as a percentage) equal to the “Amortisation Yield” (which, if none is set out in the Pricing Supplement, shall be such rate as would produce an Amortised Face Amount equal to the Issue Price of the Securities if such Securities were discounted back from the Maturity Date to the relevant Issue Date) compounded annually. Where such calculation is to be made for a period of less than one year, it shall be made on the basis of the Day Count Fraction set out in the Pricing Supplement.

(iii) If the Early Redemption Amount payable in respect of any such Security upon its redemption pursuant to Condition 5.2, 5.4 or 5.5 or upon it becoming due and payable as provided in Condition 10 (Events of Default), is not paid when due, the Early Redemption Amount due and payable in respect of such Security shall be the Amortised Face Amount of such Security as defined in sub-paragraph (ii) above, except that such sub-paragraph shall have effect as though the reference therein to the date on which the Security becomes due and payable were replaced by a reference to the Relevant Date. The calculation of the Amortised Face Amount in accordance with this sub-paragraph shall continue to be made (after, as well as before, judgment) until the Relevant Date, unless the Relevant Date falls on or after the Maturity Date, in which case the amount due and payable shall be the scheduled Final Redemption Amount of such Security on the Maturity Date together with any interest that may accrue in accordance with Condition 4.4.

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

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

If a Call Option is specified in the Pricing Supplement, the Issuer may, on giving not less than 15 or more than 30 days’ irrevocable notice (subject to such other notice period as may be specified in the Pricing Supplement under “Option Exercise Date”) to the Registered Holders redeem or exercise any Issuer’s option (in accordance with the Pricing Supplement) in relation to all or, if so provided, some of the Securities on any Optional Redemption Date. Any such redemption of Securities shall be at their Optional Redemption Amount together with interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption. Any such redemption or exercise of the Issuer’s option shall just relate to Securities of a Nominal Amount at least equal to the Minimum Redemption Amount to be redeemed specified in the Pricing Supplement and no greater than the Maximum Redemption Amount to be redeemed specified in the Pricing Supplement.

All Securities in respect of which any such notice is given shall be redeemed, or the Issuer’s option shall be exercised, on the date specified in such notice in accordance with this Condition.

In the case of a partial redemption or a partial exercise of an Issuer’s option, the notice to Registered Holders shall also contain details of the Nominal Amount of Securities to be redeemed or in respect of which such option has been exercised, which shall have been drawn in such place as may be fair and reasonable in the circumstances, having regard to prevailing market practices and in such manner as it deems appropriate, subject to compliance with any applicable laws and stock exchange requirements.

5.5 Redemption at the Option of Registered Holders and Exercise of Registered Holders’ Options

If a Put Option is specified in the Pricing Supplement, the Issuer shall, at the option of the Registered Holder of such Security, upon the Registered Holder of such Security giving not less than 15 nor more than 30 days’ notice to the Issuer (or such other notice period as may be specified in the Pricing Supplement under “Option Exercise Date”), redeem such Security on the Optional Redemption Date(s) so provided at its Optional Redemption Amount together with interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption. No such notice may be withdrawn without the

prior consent of the Issuer or if, prior to the due date for its redemption or the exercise of the option, the relevant Security becomes immediately due and payable.

To exercise such option or any other Registered Holder’s option that may be set out in the Pricing Supplement, the Registered Holder must complete, sign and deliver to the Registrar within the notice period, a redemption notice (in the form obtainable from the Registrar) together with any Certificate held by the Registered Holder relating to the Securities to be transferred and such evidence as the Registrar may require to establish the rights of that Registered Holder to the relevant Securities.

5.6 Purchases

The Issuer is taken to represent as at the date of issue of each Security, that it does not know or have any reasonable grounds to suspect that that Security or any interest in or right in respect of that Security is being or will later be, acquired either directly or indirectly by an Offshore Associate of the Issuer acting other than in the capacity of a dealer, manager or underwriter in relation to the placement of the Securities or a clearing house, custodian, funds manager or responsible entity of a registered scheme within the meaning of the Corporations Act.

The Issuer and any of its subsidiaries may, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, at any time purchase Securities in the open market or otherwise at any price. Securities purchased by the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries may be surrendered by the purchaser through the Issuer to the Registrar for cancellation or, in the case of Notes, may at the option of the Issuer or the relevant subsidiary be held or resold. In the event that Securities are purchased by the Issuer but not cancelled the Issuer will relinquish any voting rights in respect of these purchased Securities.

5.7 Cancellation

All Securities redeemed by the Issuer or surrendered by the purchaser through the Issuer for cancellation shall be surrendered for cancellation by the Issuer or purchaser notifying the Registrar and surrendering to the Registrar any Certificates held by the Registered Holder relating to the Securities to be cancelled by the Registrar and if so surrendered, the Securities will be cancelled forthwith. Any Securities so surrendered for cancellation may not be reissued or resold and the obligations of the Issuer in respect of any such Securities shall be discharged.

5.8 Consent of Australian Prudential Regulatory Authority

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Condition 5, unless otherwise specified or determined by the Australian Prudential Regulatory Authority (“APRA”), the Issuer may not redeem any Subordinated Notes under Conditions 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 or 5.5 above or prior to the Maturity Date under Condition 5.1 above or purchase any Subordinated Notes under Condition 5.6 above without the prior written approval of APRA. In addition, unless otherwise specified or determined by APRA, the prior written approval of APRA is required to modify the terms of any Series of Subordinated Notes.

6. PAYMENTS

6.1 Payments by the Issuer

(i) Payments in respect of interest or principal on any Security made by the Issuer to Registered Holders will be made in accordance with details recorded with the Registrar by 5:00 pm local Registry Office time on the relevant Record Date.

(ii) When a Security is recorded in the Register as being held jointly, payment of interest or principal (as the case may be) by the Issuer will be made to the Registered Holders in their joint names unless requested otherwise (and in a form satisfactory to the Issuer) by 5:00 pm local Registry Office time on the relevant Record Date.

6.2 Method of Payment

Payments in respect of each Security will be made:

(i) where the Securities are lodged in the Austraclear System, by crediting on the relevant Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date (determined in accordance with the Business Day Convention specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement) the amount then due to the account of the relevant Registered Holder in accordance with the Austraclear Regulations; or

(ii) if the relevant Securities have not been lodged or are removed from the Austraclear System, by crediting on the relevant Interest Payment Date, in the case of payments of interest, or the Maturity Date, in the case of payments of principal, the amount then due to a bank account in Australia previously notified by the Registered Holder to the Registrar. Each Interest Payment Date and Maturity Date shall be determined in accordance with the Business Day Convention specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement. If the Registered Holder has not notified the Registrar of such an account by 5.00pm local Registry Office time on the relevant Record Date or upon application by the Registered Holder to the Registrar no later than 5.00pm local Registry Office time on the relevant Record Date, payments in respect of the relevant Security will be made by cheque mailed on the Business Day immediately preceding the relevant Interest Payment Date in the case of payments of interest or on the Maturity Date, in the case of payments of principal, at the Registered Holder’s risk to the Registered Holder (or to the first named of joint Registered Holders) of such Security at the address appearing in the Register as at 5.00pm local Registry Office time on the relevant Record Date. Cheques to be despatched to the nominated address of a Registered Holder will in such case be deemed to have been received by the Registered Holder on the relevant Interest Payment Date, in the case of payments of interest, or the Maturity Date, in the case of payments of principal, and no further amount will be payable by the Issuer in respect of the relevant Security as a result of payment not being received by the Registered Holder on the due date.

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

6.3 Payments Subject to Fiscal Laws

All payments are subject in all cases to any applicable fiscal or other laws, regulations and directives, but without prejudice to the provisions of Condition 8 (Taxation). No commission or expenses shall be charged to the Registered Holders in respect of such payments.

6.4 Appointment of Agents

The Registrar and (if appointed) the Calculation Agent act solely as agents of the Issuer and do not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any Registered Holder. The Issuer reserves the right at any time to vary or terminate the appointment of the Registrar or (if appointed) the Calculation Agent, provided that the Issuer shall at all times maintain (i) a Registrar, (ii) one or more Calculation Agent(s) where the Conditions so require, and (iii) such other agents as may be required by the rules of any stock exchange, listing authority and/or quotation system on which the Securities may be admitted to listing, trading and/or quotation. Notice of any change to the specified office of the Registrar or the Calculation Agent shall promptly be given to the Registered Holders in accordance with Condition 14 (Notices).

7 TRANSFER

7.1 Transfer

(i) Unless Securities are lodged in the Austraclear System, and subject to Condition 7.2, all applications to transfer Securities must be made by lodging with the Registrar a properly completed transfer and acceptance form in the form approved by the Issuer and the Registrar. Any Certificate relating to the Securities to be transferred must also be

surrendered to the Registrar. Transfer and acceptance forms are available from any Registry Office. Each Registry Office will provide prompt marking and transfer services. Each transfer form must be accompanied by such evidence (if any) as the Registrar may require to prove the title of the transferor or the transferor’s right to transfer the Security, and be signed by both the transferor and the transferee. The transfer takes effect upon the transferee’s name being entered on the Register.

(ii) Securities lodged in the Austraclear System will be transferable only in accordance with the Austraclear Regulations.

7.2 Limit on Transfer

(i) Securities may only be transferred within, to or from Australia in the denominations specified in the Pricing Supplement and if the consideration payable at the time of transfer is a minimum amount of A$500,000 (in either case, disregarding moneys lent by the transferor or its associates) or the transfer otherwise does not require disclosure to investors in accordance with Part 6D.2 and Part 7 of the Corporations Act.

(ii) Securities may only be transferred between persons in a jurisdiction or jurisdictions other than Australia if the transfer is in compliance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which the transfer takes place and the transfer of the Securities otherwise does not require disclosure to investors in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which the transfer takes place.

7.3 Partial Transfers

Where a transferor executes a transfer of less than all Securities registered in its name, and the identity of the specific Securities to be transferred are not identified, the Registrar may register the transfer in respect of such of the Securities registered in the name of the transferor as the Registrar thinks fit, provided the total Nominal Amount of the Securities registered as having been transferred equals the total Nominal Amount of the Securities expressed to be transferred in the transfer.

7.4 Closed Period

A transfer of a Security shall not be effective unless and until entered on the Register. The Register will be closed for the purpose of determining entitlements to payments of interest and repayments of any Nominal Amount at 5:00 pm local Registry Office time on the Record Date prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, the relevant Maturity Date and any relevant redemption date. Therefore, transfers must be received by the Registrar at the relevant Registry Office prior to that time.

7.5 Stamp Duty

The Registered Holder is responsible for any stamp duties or other similar taxes which are payable in any jurisdiction in connection with any transfer, assignment or other dealing with the Securities.

7.6 Transmission

The Registrar must register a transfer of a Security to or by a person who is entitled to make or receive the transfer in consequence of:

(i) death, bankruptcy, liquidation or winding up of a Registered Holder; or

(ii) the making of a vesting order by a court or other body with power to make the order,

on receiving the evidence of entitlement that the Registrar or the Issuer requires.

7.7 Austraclear Services Limited as Registrar

If Austraclear Services Limited is the Registrar and Securities are lodged in the Austraclear System, despite any other provision of those Conditions, these Securities are not transferable on the Register, and the Issuer may not, and must procure that the Registrar does not, register any transfer of those Securities issued by it and no member of the Austraclear System has the right to request any registration of any transfer of the relevant Securities, except:

(i) for the purposes of any repurchase, redemption or cancellation (whether on or before the Maturity Date of the relevant Security) of the relevant Security, a transfer of the relevant Security from Austraclear to the Issuer may be entered in the Register; and

(ii) if Austraclear exercises or purports to exercise any power it may have under the Austraclear Regulations from time to time for the Austraclear System or these Conditions, to require the relevant Security to be transferred on the Register to a member of the Austraclear System, the relevant Security may be transferred on the Register from Austraclear to the member of the Austraclear System.

In any of these cases, the relevant Security will cease to be held in the Austraclear System.

8. TAXATION

Subject as provided below, all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Securities shall be made free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for, any taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or within the Commonwealth of Australia or by any authority therein or thereof having power to tax (together Taxes), unless such withholding or deduction is required by law. In that event, the Issuer shall pay such additional amounts to the Registered Holders as shall result in receipt by those Registered Holders of such amounts as would have been received by them had no such withholding or deduction been required, except that no such additional amounts shall be payable with respect to any Security:

(i) in respect of which the Registered Holder thereof is liable to such Taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges in respect of such Security by reason of its having some connection with the Commonwealth of Australia, other than the mere holding of such Security or the receipt of the relevant payment in respect thereof; or

(ii) in respect of which the Registered Holder thereof is an Offshore Associate of the Issuer (acting other than in the capacity of a clearing house, paying agent, custodian, funds manager or responsible entity of a registered scheme within the meaning of the Corporations Act); or

(iii) in respect of which the Taxes have been imposed or levied as a result of the Registered Holder of such Security being party to or participating in a scheme to avoid such Taxes, being a scheme which the Issuer was neither a party to nor participated in; or

(iv) to, or to a third party on behalf of, an Australian resident Registered Holder or a non-resident Registered Holder who is engaged in carrying on business in Australia at or through a permanent establishment of the non-resident in Australia, if that person has not supplied an appropriate tax file number, Australian business number or other exemption details.

References in these Conditions to (i) ‘‘principal’’ shall be deemed to include any premium payable in respect of the Securities, all Instalment Amounts, Final Redemption Amounts, Early Redemption Amounts, Optional Redemption Amounts, Amortised Face Amounts and all other amounts in the nature of principal payable pursuant to Condition 5 (Redemption, Purchase and Options), or any amendment or supplement to it, (ii) ‘‘interest’’ shall be deemed to include all Interest Amounts and all other amounts payable pursuant to Condition 4 (Interest and other Calculations), or any amendment or supplement to it and (iii) ‘‘principal’’ and/or ‘‘interest’’

shall be deemed to include any additional amounts that may be payable under this Condition or any undertaking given in addition to or substitution for it under the Deed Poll. Any additional amounts due in respect of the Subordinated Notes will be subordinated in right of payment as described in Condition 3.3 (Status – Subordinated Notes), Condition 4.10 (Condition of Payment – Subordinated Notes) and Condition 11 (Subordination).

If the Issuer is or becomes subject at any time to any taxing jurisdiction other than or in addition to the Commonwealth of Australia, references in Condition 5.2 and Condition 8 shall be read and construed as including references to such other taxing jurisdiction(s).

9. PRESCRIPTION

Claims against the Issuer for payment in respect of the Securities shall be prescribed and become void unless made within ten years (in the case of principal) or five years (in the case of interest) from the appropriate Relevant Date in respect of them.

10. EVENTS OF DEFAULT

10.1 Medium Term Notes

If any one of the following events (‘‘Events of Default’’) occurs and is continuing, the Registered Holder of any Medium Term Note of any Series may give written notice to the Registrar at its Registry Office that such Medium Term Note is immediately repayable, whereupon it shall immediately become due and repayable at its Early Redemption Amount together with accrued interest to the date of payment unless, prior to the date that such written notice is received by the Registrar, the Issuer shall have cured or otherwise made good all Events of Default in respect of the Medium Term Notes of such Series:

(i) default is made in the payment of any principal or Final Redemption Amount, Early Redemption Amount, Optional Redemption Amount, Instalment Amount or Amortised Face Amount (in the case of a Zero Coupon Security) (whether becoming due upon redemption or otherwise) or interest when due, in respect of any Medium Term Note of such Series, and such default continues for a period of seven days; or

(ii) the Issuer fails to perform or observe any of its obligations under any Medium Term Note of such Series other than those specified in paragraph (i) above and in such case (except where such failure is incapable of remedy) such failure continues for a period of 30 days next following the service by any Registered Holder of any Medium Term Note of such Series on the Issuer of written notice requiring the same to be remedied; or

(iii) the maturity of any indebtedness for borrowed money of the Issuer amounting in aggregate to U.S.$10,000,000 principal amount (not being moneys borrowed in the ordinary course of banking business) shall have been accelerated by or on behalf of the holder of such indebtedness in accordance with the terms thereof or any agreement relating thereto or any such indebtedness shall not have been paid when due on maturity and such default shall not have been cured within the grace period, if any, originally applicable thereto or default shall be made by the Issuer in honouring when called upon any guarantee or indemnity given by the Issuer in respect of any such indebtedness of others and such default shall not have been cured within the grace period, if any, originally applicable thereto; and such acceleration or default, as the case may be, is not being contested in good faith by the Issuer and is not cured or otherwise made good within seven days after the date upon which written notice of such default shall have been given to the Issuer by or on behalf of the Registered Holder of any Medium Term Note of such Series, provided that the failure by the Issuer duly to make payment under any leveraged lease facilityor similar financial transaction in consequence of the relevant lessee failing to place the Issuer in funds shall not of itself constitute a breach of this paragraph (iii). For this purpose “leveraged lease facility” means financial arrangements involving ownership of assets by a lessor, lessor partnership or other entity (an ‘‘owner’’) which is leased or made available to the

lessee or user, the acquisition of which shall have been made with the assistance of a loan or loans on security which will include the property or funds accruing to the owner in respect of such property under the terms of the lease or agreement by which the assets are made available to the lessee or user or on security which includes both such property and such funds; or

(iv) otherwise than for the purpose of an amalgamation or reconstruction or merger within the meaning of these words under the laws of the Commonwealth of Australia, a resolution is passed that the Issuer be wound up or dissolved; or

(v) the Issuer stops payment (within the meaning of Australian or any other applicable bankruptcy law) of its obligations; or

(vi) an encumbrancer takes possession of or a receiver is appointed of the whole or a substantial part of the undertaking and assets of the Issuer and any such event is continuing for 45 days after its occurrence and would materially prejudice the performance by the Issuer of its obligations under the Medium Term Notes of such Series or a distress or execution is levied or enforced upon or sued out against the whole or a substantial part of the undertaking and assets of the Issuer which would materially prejudice the performance of the Issuer of its obligations under the Medium Term Notes of such Series and is not discharged within 60 days thereof; or

(vii) proceedings shall have been initiated against the Issuer under any applicable bankruptcy, reorganisation or other similar law and such proceedings shall not have been discharged or stayed within a period of 60 days; or

(viii) the Issuer shall initiate or consent to proceedings relating to itself under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, composition or other similar law (otherwise than for the purpose of amalgamation, reconstruction or merger (within the meaning of those words under the laws of the Commonwealth of Australia)) and such proceedings would materially prejudice the performance by the Issuer of its obligations under the Medium Term Notes of such Series.

10.2 Subordinated Notes

The following are Events of Default with respect to Subordinated Notes:

(i) (a) the making of an order by a court of the State of Victoria, Commonwealth of Australia or a court with appellate jurisdiction from such court which is not successfully appealed or permanently stayed within 60 days of the entry of such order; or

(b) the valid adoption by the Issuer ‘s shareholders of an effective resolution,

in each case for the winding up of the Issuer (other than under or in connection with a scheme of amalgamation or reconstruction not involving bankruptcy or insolvency); and

(ii) Subject to Condition 4.10:

(a) default in the payment of interest on any Subordinated Note when due, continued for 30 days; or

(b) default in the payment of principal of, or any premium on, any Subordinated Note when due.

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in paragraph (i) above, subject to the subordination provisions, the principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, the Subordinated Notes will automatically become due and payable.

If an Event of Default contemplated by paragraph (ii) above with respect to any Subordinated Notes occurs and is continuing, a Subordinated Noteholder may only, in order to enforce the obligations of the Issuer under such Subordinated Notes:

(A) notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (B) below, institute proceedings in the State of Victoria, Commonwealth of Australia (but not elsewhere) for the winding up of the Issuer (all subject to, and in accordance with, the terms of Condition 11 (Subordination)); or

(B) institute proceedings for recovery of the money then due, provided that the Issuer will not, by virtue of the institution of any such proceedings (other than proceedings for the winding up of the Issuer) be obliged to pay any sums representing principal or interest in respect of the Subordinated Notes sooner than the same would otherwise have been payable by it and provided that the Issuer is Solvent at the time of, and will be Solvent immediately after, any such payment.

No remedy against the Issuer other than those referred to in this Condition 10.2, shall be available to the Subordinated Noteholders, whether for the recovery of amounts owing in respect of the Subordinated Notes or in respect of any breach by the issuer of any of its other obligations under or in respect of the Subordinated Notes.

10.3 Notification

If an Event of Default occurs under Conditions 10.1 or 10.2 above, the Issuer will promptly after becoming aware of it notify the Registrar of the occurrence of the Event of Default specifying details of it and use its reasonable endeavours to procure that the Registrar promptly notifies the Registered Holder’s of the occurrence of the Event of Default by registered post to the address of the Registered Holders recorded in the Register.

11. SUBORDINATION

In the event of the winding up of the Issuer constituting an Event of Default with respect to the Subordinated Notes, there shall be payable with respect to the Subordinated Notes, subject to the subordination provisions discussed above (see Condition 3.3 (Status – Subordinated Notes) and Condition 4.10 (Condition of Payment – Subordinated Notes), an amount equal to the principal amount of the Subordinated Notes then outstanding, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the repayment date.

As a result of the subordination provisions, no amount will be payable in the winding up of the Issuer in Australia in respect of the Subordinated Notes until all claims of Unsubordinated Creditors admitted in the winding up have been satisfied in full. By subscription for, or transfer of, Subordinated Notes to a Subordinated Noteholder, that Subordinated Noteholder will be taken to have agreed that no amount in respect of the Subordinated Notes will be repaid until all the claims of the Unsubordinated Creditors admitted in the winding up have been satisfied accordingly. Accordingly, if proceedings with respect to the winding up of the Issuer in Australia were to occur, the Subordinated Noteholders could recover less relative to the holders of deposit liabilities, the holders of Medium Term Notes and the holders of prior ranking subordinated liabilities of the Issuer. For the avoidance of doubt, the Subordinated Notes do not constitute deposit liabilities of the Issuer.

If in any such winding up, the amount payable with respect to the Subordinated Notes and any claims ranking equally with the Subordinated Notes cannot be paid in full, the Subordinated Notes and other claims ranking equally with the Subordinated Notes will share relatively in any distribution of the Issuer’s assets in a winding up in proportion to the respective amounts to which they are entitled.

In addition, because the Issuer is a holding company as well as an operating company, the rights of the Issuer, its creditors and of the Subordinated Noteholders to participate in the assets of any of the Issuer’s subsidiaries upon the liquidation of such subsidiary will be subject

to the prior claims of the subsidiary’s creditors, except to the extent that the Issuer itself may be a creditor with recognised claims against that subsidiary.

12. MEETING OF REGISTERED HOLDERS, MODIFICATIONS AND WAIVER

12.1 Meetings of Registered Holders

Meetings of Registered Holders may be convened in accordance with the Meeting Provisions contained in Schedule 2 to the Deed Poll. Any such meeting may consider any matters affecting the interests of Registered Holders, including, without limitation, the variation of the terms of the Securities by the Issuer and the granting of approvals, consents and waivers, and the declaration of an Event of Default.

12.2 Modification of the Deed Poll

The Deed Poll may be amended by the Issuer, without the consent of any Registered Holder for the purpose of curing any ambiguity or of curing, correcting or supplementing any defective provision contained therein which does not, in the reasonable opinion of the Issuer, adversely affect the interests of the Registered Holders. All other amendments to the Deed Poll must be passed at a duly convened meeting of Registered Holders by an Extraordinary Resolution. The Issuer will notify the Registrar of any amendments made pursuant to this Condition and will use its reasonable endeavours to procure that the Registrar notifies the Registered Holders of the amendment by post to the address of the Registered Holders recorded in the Register.

13. FURTHER ISSUES OF SECURITIES

The Issuer may from time to time without the consent of the Registered Holders create and issue further securities either having the same terms and conditions as the Securities in all respects (or in all respects except for the Issue Date or first payment of interest on them) and so that such further issue of securities shall be consolidated and form a single Series with the outstanding Securities of any Series or upon such terms as the Issuer may determine at the time of their issue. References in these Conditions to the Securities include (unless the context requires otherwise) any other securities issued pursuant to this Condition and forming a single Series with the Securities.

14. NOTICES

14.1 To Registered Holders

All notices by the Issuer to Registered Holders will be valid if posted by ordinary mail to the relevant Registered Holder at its address appearing on the Register (or in the case of joint Registered Holders to the first named).

Any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on the third Business Day after posting if posted to an address in Australia and on the seventh Business Day if posted to an address outside of Australia.

14.2 To the Issuer and Registrar

All notices by a Registered Holder to the Issuer and Registrar will be valid if posted by ordinary mail to the Issuer and the Registrar at their addresses specified above. Unless a later time is specified in it, a notice takes effect from the time it is received by the Issuer or Registrar except that if it is received after 5.00pm in the place of receipt or not on a Business Day, it is to be taken to be received at 9.00am on the next succeeding Business Day in that place.

15. GOVERNING LAW

The Securities are governed by the laws in force in the State of Victoria and the Commonwealth of Australia.

USE OF PROCEEDS

The net proceeds from the issue of any Notes or Transferable Certificates of Deposit will be used by the Issuer for its general corporate purposes.

SUBSCRIPTION AND SALE

Subject to the terms and on the conditions contained in each relevant subscription agreement (each a “Subscription Agreement”) entered into between the Issuer and the relevant Dealers, the Securities will be offered from time to time by the Issuer to the Dealers. However, the Issuer has reserved the right to sell Securities directly on its own behalf to other intermediaries and purchasers procured by it.

The Issuer agrees to indemnify the Dealer(s) against certain liabilities in connection with the offer and sale of the Securities. Each Subscription Agreement entitles the relevant Dealers to terminate any agreement that they may make to subscribe for Securities in certain circumstances prior to payment for such Securities being made to the Issuer. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of the relevant Subscription Agreement and the Information Memorandum or the Conditions then the provisions of the relevant Subscription Agreement shall apply.

The Issuer may pay each relevant Dealer a commission as agreed between the Issuer and that Dealer in respect of a Tranche of Securities, which commission may be deducted from the net proceeds payable to the Issuer on the closing of that Series. The Issuer may agreed to reimburse the relevant Dealers for certain of their activities in connection with the issue of a Tranche of Securities.

Australia

No prospectus or other disclosure document in relation to the Programme or the Securities has been lodged with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (“ASIC”) or the Australian Securities Exchange. Each Dealer represents and agrees and each further Dealer appointed under the Programme will be required to represent and agree that, unless the relevant Pricing Supplement otherwise provides, it:

(i) has not made or invited, and will not make or invite, an offer of the Securities for issue or sale in Australia (including an offer or invitation which is received by a person in Australia); and

(ii) has not distributed or published, and will not distribute or publish, the Information Memorandum or any other offering material or advertisement relating to the Securities in Australia,

unless:

(a) the minimum aggregate consideration payable by each offeree is at least A$500,000 (disregarding moneys lent by the offeror or its associates) or the offer otherwise does not require disclosure to investors in accordance with Part 6D.2 and Part 7 of the Corporations Act; and

(b) such action complies with all applicable laws and regulations.

Each Dealer represents and agrees and each further Dealer appointed under the Programme will be required to represent and agree that it will not sell any Securities issued by the Issuer in circumstances where employees of the Dealer aware of, or involved in, the sale know, or have reasonable grounds to suspect, that the Security or an interest in or right in respect of the Security, was being or would later be, acquired either directly or indirectly by an Offshore Associate of the Issuer acting other than in the capacity of a dealer, manager or underwriter in relation to the placement of the Securities or a clearing house, custodian, funds manager or responsible entity of a registered scheme within the meaning of the Corporations Act.

“Offshore Associate” means an associate (as defined in section 128F of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 (Cth) of Australia and any successor legislation) of the Issuer that is either a non-resident of the Commonwealth of Australia which does not acquire the Securities in carrying on a business at or through a permanent establishment in Australia or, alternatively, a resident of Australia that acquires the Securities in carrying on business at or through a permanent establishment outside of Australia.

Hong Kong

Each Dealer represents and agrees and each further Dealer appointed under the Programme will be required to represent and agree that:

(i) it has not offered or sold and will not offer or sell the Securities in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the Peoples Republic of China (“Hong Kong”), by any document, except (i) to ‘‘professional investors’’ as defined in the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Cap. 571) of Hong Kong and any rules made under that Ordinance or (ii) in other circumstances which do not result in the document being a ‘‘prospectus’’ as defined in the Companies Ordinance (Cap. 32) of Hong Kong or which do not constitute an offer to the public within the meaning of that Ordinance; and

(ii) it has not issued or had in its possession for the purposes of issue, and will not issue or have in its possession for the purposes of issue, whether in Hong Kong or elsewhere, any advertisement, invitation or document relating to the Securities, which is directed at, or the contents of which are likely to be accessed or read by, the public of Hong Kong (except if permitted to do so under the securities laws of Hong Kong) other than with respect to Securities which are or are intended to be disposed of only to persons outside Hong Kong or only to ‘‘professional investors’’ as defined in the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Cap. 571) of Hong Kong and any rules made under that Ordinance.

Japan

The Securities have not been and will not be registered under the Securities and Exchange Law of Japan (the “Securities and Exchange Law”). Accordingly, each of the Dealers represents and agrees and each further Dealer appointed under the Programme will be required to represent and agree that it has not, directly or indirectly, offered or sold and will not directly or indirectly, offer or sell any Securities in Japan or to, or for the benefit of, any Japanese Person or to others for re-offering or resale, directly or indirectly, in Japan or to any Japanese Person except under circumstances which will result in compliance with the Securities and Exchange Law and all applicable laws, regulations and guidelines promulgated by the relevant Japanese governmental and regulatory authorities and in effect at the relevant time. For the purposes of this paragraph, ‘‘Japanese Person’’ shall mean any person resident in Japan, including any corporation or other entity organised under the laws of Japan.

New Zealand

Each Dealer represents and agrees and each further Dealer appointed under the Programme will be required to represent and agree that it has not offered, sold or delivered and will not directly or indirectly offer, sell or deliver any Security, and it will not distribute any offering memorandum or advertisement in relation to any offer of Securities in New Zealand, unless the minimum subscription price payable for Securities is at least NZ$500,000 (disregarding any amount lent by the offeror, the Issuer or any associated person of the offeror or the Issuer) and the minimum holding of Securities is at least NZ$500,000, or that offer, sale or delivery is in other circumstances where there is no contravention of the Securities Act 1978 of New Zealand.

United Kingdom

Each Dealer represents and agrees and each further Dealer appointed under the Programme will be required to represent and agree that:

(i) it has only communicated or caused to be communicated and will only communicate or cause to be communicated any invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity (within the meaning of section 21 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (“FSMA”)) received by it in connection with the issue or sale of any Securities in circumstances in which section 21(1) of the FSMA would not, if the Issuer was not an authorised person, apply to the Issuer; and

(ii) it has complied and will comply with all applicable provisions of the FSMA with respect to anything done by it in relation to any Securities in, from other otherwise involving the United Kingdom.

United States of America

The Securities have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and may not be offered, sold or delivered within the United States or its possessions or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons. Each Dealer represents and agrees and each further Dealer appointed under the Programme will be required to represent and agree that it has offered and sold, and will offer and sell, Securities as part of its distribution or otherwise at any time only outside the United States and its possessions to non-U.S. persons in accordance with Rule 903 of Regulation S under the Securities Act. Accordingly, each Dealer represents and agrees and each further Dealer appointed under the Programme will be required to represent and agree that neither it, nor any of its affiliates nor any person acting on its behalf has engaged or will engage in any directed selling efforts with respect to the Securities, and that it and they have complied and will comply with the offering restrictions requirement of Regulation S under the Securities Act. Each Dealer also agrees and each further Dealer appointed under the Programme will be required to agree that, at or prior to confirmation of sale of Securities, it will have sent to each distributor, dealer or person receiving a selling concession, fee or other remuneration that purchases Securities from it a confirmation or notice to substantially the following effect:

“The Securities covered hereby have not been registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and may not be offered or sold within the United States or its possessions or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons as part of their distribution or otherwise at any time. Terms used above have the meanings given to them in Regulation S under the Securities Act.”

Terms used in this sub-section headed “United States of America” have the meaning given to them by Regulation S under the Securities Act.

Each issuance of index-, commodity- or currency-linked Securities may be subject to such additional U.S. selling restrictions as the relevant Dealer may agree with the Issuer as a term of the issuance, and purchase or, as the case may be, subscription of such Securities. Each Dealer agrees and each further Dealer appointed under the Programme will be required agree that it shall offer, sell and deliver such Securities only in compliance with such additional U.S. selling restrictions.

European Economic Area

In relation to each Member State of the European Economic Area which has implemented the Prospectus Directive (each, a ‘‘Relevant Member State’’), each Dealer has represented, warranted and agreed and each further Dealer appointed under the Programme will be required to represent, warrant and agree that with effect from and including the date on which the Prospectus Directive is implemented in that Member State (the ‘‘Relevant Implementation Date’’) it has not made and will not make an offer of Securities to the public in that Relevant Member State, except that it may, with effect from and including the Relevant Implementation Date, make an offer of Securities to the public in that Relevant Member State:

(i) in (or in Germany, where the offer starts within) the period beginning on the date of publication of a prospectus in relation to those Securities which has been approved by the competent authority in that Relevant Member State or, where appropriate, approved in another Relevant Member State and notified to the competent authority in that Relevant Member State, all in accordance with the Prospectus Directive, and ending on the date which is 12 months after the date of such publication;

(ii) at any time to legal entities which are authorised or regulated to operate in the financial markets or, if not so authorised or regulated, whose corporate purpose is solely to invest in securities;

(iii) at any time to any legal entity which has two or more of (1) an average of at least 250 employees during the last financial year; (2) a total balance sheet of more than EUR

43,000,000 and (3) an annual turnover of more than EUR 50,000,000, all as shown in its last annual or consolidated accounts; or

(iv) at any time in any other circumstances which do not require the publication by the Issuer of a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive.

For the purposes of this provision, the expression ‘‘offer of Securities to the public’’ in relation to any Securities in any Relevant Member State means the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and the Securities to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe for the Securities, as the same may be varied in that Member State by any measure implementing the Prospectus Directive in that Member State and the expression ‘‘Prospectus Directive’’ means Directive 2003/71/EC and includes any relevant implementing measure in each Relevant Member State.

General

These selling restrictions may be modified by the agreement of the Issuer and the Dealers following a change in a relevant law, regulation or directive. Any such modification will be set out in the Pricing Supplement issued in respect of the Securities to which it relates or in a supplement to this Information Memorandum.

No action has been taken in any jurisdiction that would permit a public offering of any of the Securities, or possession or distribution of the Information Memorandum or any other offering material or any Pricing Supplement, in any country or jurisdiction where action for that purpose is required.

Each Dealer agrees and each further Dealer appointed under the Programme will be required to agree that it will, to the best of its knowledge, comply with all relevant laws, regulations and directives in each jurisdiction in which it purchases, offers, sells or delivers Securities or has in its possession or distributes the Information Memorandum, any other offering material or any Pricing Supplement in each case at its expense and none of the Issuer nor any other Dealer shall have responsibility thereafter.

Persons into whose hands this Information Memorandum or any Pricing Supplement comes are required by the Issuer and the relevant Dealers in respect of any Series of Securities to comply with all applicable laws and regulations in each country or jurisdiction in or from which they purchase, offer, sell or deliver Securities or have in their possession or distribute such offering material, in all cases at their own expense.

Issuer:	Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited.

Description:	An Australian Dollar denominated Debt Issuance Programme allowing for the issuance of Transferable Certificates of Deposit, Medium Term Notes (“Medium Term Notes”) or Subordinated Medium Term Notes (“Subordinated Notes”).

Programme Size:	Unlimited

Arranger:	ANZ Investment Bank

Dealers:	Australian and New Zealand Banking Group Limited

	Additional Dealers may be appointed, from time to time, by the Issuer for any Tranche of Securities.

Direct Issues by Issuer:	The Issuer may also issue Securities directly to purchasers or investors (as applicable) procured by it. Such purchasers will be required to confirm and acknowledge to the Issuer in writing that the issue of the Securities resulted from the Securities being offered for issue as a result of negotiations being initiated publicly in electronic form (eg Reuters or Bloomberg), or in another form that was used by financial markets for dealing in debentures.

Method of Issue or Acceptance of Securities:	Securities will be issued on a syndicated or a non-syndicated basis. Securities may be issued by the Issuer in one or more Series having one or more Issue Dates and on terms otherwise identical (or identical other than in respect of the first payment of interest and related matters described below), with the Securities of each Series being intended to be interchangeable with all other Securities of those Series. Each Series of Securities may be issued in Tranches on the same or different Issue Dates. The specific terms of each Tranche (which will be supplemented, where necessary, with supplemental terms and conditions and, save in respect of the Issue Date, Issue Price, first payment of interest and principal amount of the Tranche, will be identical to the terms of other Tranches of the same Series) will be set out in a pricing supplement to this Information Memorandum (a “Pricing Supplement”).

Issue Price:	Notes may be issued at their principal amount or at a discount or premium to their principal amount.

	Transferable Certificates of Deposit may be issued at their principal amount or at a discount or premium to their principal

		amount (where the principal amount is equal to the amount of the relevant Transferable Deposit accepted by the Issuer).

Form of Securities	Securities will be issued in registered form. Securities will be constituted by a Deed Poll dated 20 June 2001 as amended and restated on 11 April 2003, 23 April 2004 and 26 February 2007 and as further amended and/or restated and/or supplemented from time to time given by the Issuer for the benefit of the Registered Holders of those Securities from time to time and will take the form of entries on a Register maintained by the Registrar. A copy of the Deed Poll may be inspected during normal business hours at the offices of the Issuer or the Registrar or such other place or places as may be determined from time to time and notified to the Registered Holders. The terms and conditions of the Securities are contained in Schedule 1 to the Deed Poll and are modified and supplemented by the relevant Pricing Supplement.

Title:	Entry of the name of the person in the Register in respect of a Security constitutes the obtaining or passing of title and is conclusive evidence that the person so entered is the Registered Holder of the Securities. No certificates or other evidence of title will be issued to Registered Holders unless the Issuer determines that certificates should be made available or it is required to do so pursuant to any applicable law or regulation. Securities that are held in the Austraclear System will be registered in the name of Austraclear Limited and title to the Securities will be determined in accordance with the Austraclear Regulations.

Payments:	Payments will be made on the payment dates specified in the Pricing Supplement to the persons whose names are entered in the Register as at 5.00pm local Registry Office time on the relevant Record Date which is the 7th day before a payment date. Payments in respect of Securities lodged within the Austraclear System will be made by crediting the amount due to the account of the Registered Holder in accordance with the Austraclear Regulations. If Securities are not lodged in the Austraclear System, payments will be made to the account of the Registered Holder noted on the Register. If no account is notified then payments will be made by cheque mailed on the Business Day immediately preceding the relevant Interest Payment Date or on the Maturity Date (as applicable) to the Registered Holder at its address appearing on the Register as at 5.00pm local Registry Office time on the relevant Record Date.

Maturities:	Any maturity, subject to compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. The Maturity Date applicable to each Tranche of Securities will be specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement.

Denominations:	Securities will be issued in such denominations as may be specified as the Specified Denominations in the relevant Pricing Supplement subject to compliance with all applicable

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

	Securities may only be issued in Australia if the aggregate consideration payable by the investor or purchaser (in the case of a Transferable Certificate of Deposit by way of a deposit with the Issuer) is at least A$500,000 (disregarding moneys lent by the Issuer or its associates) or if the Securities are otherwise issued in a manner that does not require disclosure to investors in accordance with Part 6D.2 and Part 7 of the Corporations Act.

	Securities may only be issued by the Issuer in a jurisdiction or jurisdictions other than Australia if the issue is in compliance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which the issue is made and the Securities are otherwise issued in a manner that does not require disclosure to investors under the laws of that jurisdiction or those jurisdictions.

Transfer of Securities	Securities may only be transferred in accordance with the Conditions.

	Transfers of Securities held in the Austraclear System or any other clearing system specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement will be made in accordance with the Austraclear Regulations or the rules and regulations of the relevant clearing system (as appropriate).

	In all other cases, applications for the transfer of Securities must be made by lodgement of a duly completed (if applicable) stamped transfer and acceptance form with the Registrar. Transfer and acceptance forms can be obtained from the Registrar. The transfer takes effect upon the transferee’s name being entered on the Register.

	Securities are only transferable within, to or from Australia in the denominations specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement and Securities may only be transferred within, to or from Australia if the aggregate consideration payable by the transferee at the time of transfer is at least A$500,000 (disregarding moneys lent by the transferor or its associates) or the transfer otherwise does not require disclosure to investors in accordance with Part 6D.2 and Part 7 of the Corporations Act.

	Securities may only be transferred between persons in a jurisdiction or jurisdictions other than Australia if the transfer is in compliance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which transfer takes place and the Securities are otherwise transferred in a manner that does not require disclosure to investors under the laws of that jurisdiction or jurisdictions.

Fixed Rate Securities:	Fixed Rate Securities will bear a fixed rate of interest payable in arrear on the Interest Payment Date or Dates in each year as specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement.

Floating Rate Securities:	Floating Rate Securities will bear interest set separately for each Series at a rate determined by reference to a rate appearing on an agreed screen page of a commercial quotation service or on such other basis as may be specified

	in the relevant Pricing Supplement, as adjusted by any applicable Margin. Interest Periods and Interest Payment Dates will be specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement.

Index Linked Securities:	Payments (whether in respect of principal or interest and whether at maturity or otherwise) in respect of, respectively, Index Linked Redemption Securities and Index Linked Interest Securities will be calculated by reference to such stock or commodity or other index, currency exchange rate and/or formula as the Issuer and the relevant Dealer or other investor may agree (as specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement).

Zero Coupon Securities:	Zero Coupon Securities may be issued at their Nominal Amount or at a discount to it and will not bear interest.
Interest Periods and Interest Rates:	The length of the Interest Periods for the Securities and the applicable Rate of Interest or its method of calculation may differ from time to time or be constant for any Series. Securities may have a Maximum Rate of Interest, a Minimum Rate of Interest or both. The use of Interest Accrual Periods permits the Security to bear interest at different rates in the same Interest Period. All such information will be set out in the relevant Pricing Supplement.
Other Securities:	The Issuer may from time to time issue Securities in a form not contemplated by “Conditions of the Securities” herein. Terms applicable to any other type of Security that the Issuer may agree to issue and any relevant Dealer(s) or other investor may agree to purchase under the Programme will be set out in the relevant Pricing Supplement.
Structured Security Risks:	The following paragraph does not describe all the risks of an investment in the Securities. Prospective depositors, investors or purchasers should consult their own financial and legal advisers about the risks associated with an investment in a particular Tranche of Securities and the suitability of investing in the Securities in light of their particular circumstances.

	An investment in Securities, the premium and/or the interest on or principal of which is determined by reference to one or more currencies, commodities, interest rates or other indices or formulae, either directly or indirectly, may entail significant risks not associated with similar investments in a conventional debt security, including the risks that the resulting interest rate and/or premium may be less than that payable on a conventional debt security at the same time and/or that an investor could lose all or a substantial portion of the principal of its Securities.

	Neither the current nor the historical value of the relevant currencies, commodities, interest rates or other indices or formulae should be taken as an indication of future performance of such currencies, commodities, interest rates or other indices or formulae during the term of any Security.

Optional Redemption:	The Pricing Supplement issued in respect of each Tranche of Securities will state whether such Securities may be redeemed (either in whole or in part) prior to their stated maturity at the option of the Issuer or the Registered Holders,

	and if so the terms applicable to such redemption.

Redemption by Instalments:	The Pricing Supplement in respect of each Series of Securities that are redeemable in two or more instalments will set out the Instalment Amounts in which and Instalment Dates on which the Securities may be redeemed.

Redemption for tax reasons:	In certain circumstances following notice by the Issuer, all of the Securities of a Series may be redeemed following any changes in tax law which give rise to an obligation of the Issuer to make any withholding or deduction (as provided in Condition 5.2 (Redemption for Taxation Reasons)).

Status of Notes:	The Issuer may elect to issue Notes that represent either unsubordinated debt or subordinated debt obligations, as specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement.

	Medium Term Notes

	Medium Term Notes will constitute direct, unconditional, unsubordinated and unsecured obligations of the Issuer ranking pari passu among themselves and (save for certain debts, including those in respect of the Issuer’s deposit liabilities in Australia, required to be preferred by law) with all present and future unsubordinated and unsecured obligations of the Issuer, all as more fully set out in Condition 3 (Status).

	Subordinated Notes

	Subordinated Notes will constitute direct and unsecured subordinated obligations of the Issuer and, unless otherwise specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement, rank pari passu among themselves and, unless otherwise specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement, rank at least pari passu with all other unsecured subordinated obligations incurred or assumed by the Issuer other than those mandatorily preferred by law. The claims of Subordinated Noteholders will, in the event of the winding up of the Issuer, be subordinated in right of payment to all Unsubordinated Creditors as more fully set out in Condition 3.3 (Status – Subordinated Notes), Condition 4.10 (Condition of Payment – Subordinated Notes) and Condition 11 (Subordination). In respect of Subordinated Notes, prior to the winding-up of the Issuer, the obligation of the Issuer to make payments (including of any principal, premium, additional amounts and interest) on the Subordinated Notes will be conditional on the Issuer being Solvent at the time of, and immediately after, such payment by the Issuer. Any such failure to pay will not be considered an Event of Default for the purposes of the Subordinated Notes.

	The Notes do not constitute deposit liabilities of the Issuer.

Status of Transferable Certificates of Deposit:	The Issuer is an “authorised deposit-taking institution” (an “*ADI”) as that term is defined under the Banking Act 1959 of the Commonwealth of Australia (the “Banking Act*”). Transferable Certificates of Deposit will constitute deposit liabilities in Australia of the Issuer for the purpose of section 13A of the Banking Act. That section provides that in the

	event of an ADI becoming unable to meet its obligations or suspending payment, the assets of the ADI in Australia shall be available to meet the ADI’s deposit liabilities in Australia in priority to all other liabilities of the ADI.

Cross Default:	The terms and conditions of the Medium Term Notes will contain a cross default clause in respect of indebtedness for borrowed money (excluding moneys borrowed in the ordinary course of banking business) having an aggregate principal amount of at least US$10,000,000 of the Issuer as more fully set out in Condition 10 (Events of Default). The terms and conditions of the Subordinated Notes and the Transferable Certificates of Deposit will contain no cross default.

Austraclear:	Unless otherwise specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement, application will be made to Austraclear Limited ABN 94 002 060 773 for approval for each Tranche of Securities to be traded on the settlement system operated by Austraclear Limited (in accordance with the Regulations and Operating Manual of Austraclear Limited).

Registrar:	Austraclear Services Limited ABN 28 003 284 419

Tax File Number:	The Issuer will deduct tax from payments of interest on the Securities at the highest marginal tax rate plus the highest Medicare levy if an Australian resident investor or a non-resident investor carrying on business in Australia at or through a permanent establishment of the non-resident in Australia has not supplied an appropriate tax file number, Australian Business Number or exemption details.

Withholding Tax:	All payments of principal and interest in respect of the Securities will be made free and clear of all Australian withholding taxes, subject to exceptions, all as described in Condition 8 (Taxation).

Public Offer Test:	The Issuer proposes to issue Securities and to make payments of interest in a manner which will satisfy the requirements of section 128F of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 (Cth) of Australia. The public offer test status of a Tranche of Securities will be specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement.

Stamp Duty:	Any stamp duty incurred at the time of the issue of the Securities will be for the account of the Issuer. Any stamp duty payable on the transfer of the Securities will be for the account of the investors.

	Investors are advised to seek independent advice regarding any stamp duty or other taxes imposed by another jurisdiction upon the transfer of, or interests in, Securities in any jurisdiction outside Australia.

Governing Law:	State of Victoria and Commonwealth of Australia.

Listing:	Application may be made for one or more Tranches of Securities issued under the Programme to be listed on the Australian Securities Exchange or admitted to listing, trading and/or quotation on such other exchange, listing authority or quotation system specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement

	if agreed between the Issuer and the relevant Dealers and specified in the Pricing Supplement. Securities which are listed on the Australian Securities Exchange will not be transferred through or registered on the Clearing House Electronic Subregister System (“CHESS”) and will not be CHESS approved securities. In the event that an interface between the Register maintained by the Registrar and CHESS is established the documents relating to the Programme may be amended to facilitate settlement on CHESS and so the Securities will become CHESS approved securities.

	Securities may also be unlisted.

Selling Restrictions:	Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom, United States, Japan, Hong Kong and the European Economic Area and such other restrictions as may be required in connection with a particular issue of Securities and as more fully set out in “Subscription and Sale”.

	The Issuer is Category 2 for the purpose of Regulation S under the Securities Act.

Calculation Agent:	A Calculation Agent may be named in the Pricing Supplement in respect of each Tranche of Securities. In certain circumstances, the Issuer may terminate the appointment of the Calculation Agent and appoint additional calculation agents or appoint a leading bank or investment banking firm involved in the interbank market that is most closely connected with the calculation to act as a Calculation Agent. A Calculation Agent may not resign its duties without a successor having been appointed.
