Important information (The information in this section is required under the Securities Act 1978). Investment decisions are very important. They often have long-term consequences. Read all documents carefully. Ask questions. Seek advice before committing yourself. Choosing an investment When deciding whether to invest, consider carefully the answers to the following questions that can be found on the pages noted below: Page What sort of investment is this? Who is involved in providing it for me? How much do I pay? What are the charges? What returns will I get? What are my risks? Can the investment be altered? How do I cash in my investment? Who do I contact with enquiries about my investment? Is there anyone to whom I can complain if I have problems with the investment? What other information can I obtain about this investment? 14 14 15 15 16 18 24 25 25
Choosing an investment adviser You have the right to request from any investment adviser a written disclosure statement stating his or her experience and qualifications to give advice. That document will tell you: whether the adviser gives advice only about particular types of investments; and whether the advice is limited to the investments offered by one or more particular financial organisations; and whether the adviser will receive a commission or other benefit from advising you. You are strongly encouraged to request that statement. An investment adviser commits an offence if he or she does not provide you with a written disclosure statement within 5 working days of your request. You must make the request at the time the advice is given or within I month of receiving the advice. In addition: if an investment adviser has any conviction for dishonesty or has been adjudged bankrupt, he or she must tell you this in writing; and if an investment adviser receives any money or assets on your behalf, he or she must tell you in writing the methods employed for this purpose. Tell the adviser what the purpose of your investment is. This is important because different investments are suitable for different purposes.

In addition to the information in the Investment Statement which forms part of this Offer Document, important information can be found in the current registered prospectus for the investment which also forms part of this document. You are entitled to a copy of the prospectus (being this Offer Document) on request. This is the wording required by Schedule 3D to the Securities Regulations 1983 which contemplates a separate investment statement and prospectus. For this Offer the two documents have been combined and accordingly the registered prospectus available on request is identical to this Offer Document.

1.1 Investment Structure The Bonds are debt securities which are backed by mortgagebacked securities, which in turn are backed by pools of residential or commercial mortgages. 1.2 The Bonds Initial Offered Securities and Ratings The Bonds are floating rate secured first-ranking bonds. They are issued by RMB Trustee in its separate capacity as the trustee of each of the respective Trusts in the following amounts and classes: (a) In respect of the Rated Mortgage CM 2006-1 Trust, Bonds of up to $12,800,000, anticipated to be rated BBB by Fitch Ratings; and (b) In respect of the Rated Mortgage RML 2006-2 Trust, Bonds of up to $15,000,000, anticipated to be rated BBB by Fitch Ratings. To these amounts are added the over-subscriptions of up to $6,000,000 (for each Trust) which RMB Trustee may accept. The minimum subscription on application is $5,000.00 plus multiples of $100.00 thereafter. Interest Rate Interest from the relevant Subscription Date until (but excluding) the Initial Call Option Date is paid at the aggregate of the Base Rate determined as at the Opening Date and the Ordinary Margin. The Base Rate is the bid settlement rate as displayed at or about 10.45am on the first day of each Interest Period on the Reuters Monitor Screen page BKBM (or its successor page) for bank bills having a term of 3 months. (The 3 month bank bill bid settlement rate as at 17 November was 7.66%). More information about the 3 month bank bill bid settlement rate can be found in financial media and on the Reuters website at www.reuters.com. On and from the Initial Call Option Date (if RMB Trustee does not exercise the Call Option on that date), the interest rate is the aggregate of the Base Rate and the Step-Up Margin. The interest rate is first set on the Opening Date and is then reset by the Registrar on and with effect from the following dates: (a) For the Rated Mortgage CM 2006-1 Trust, 7 March, 7 June, 7 September and 7 December in each year; and (b) For the Rated Mortgage RML 2006-2 Trust, 9 February, 9 May, 9 August and 9 November in each year.

Prepayment If, as at any Interest Payment Date prior to the Initial Call Option Date, the aggregate amount of Authorised Investments (other than Mortgage-Backed Securities) of any Trust has exceeded 10% of all Authorised Investments of the relevant Trust in the two immediately preceding calendar months, RMB Trustee must apply any such excess amount in or towards repayment, pari passu and rateably, of the principal amount of the Bonds issued by that Trust.

BBB
Fitch Ratings is expected to determine credit ratings for the issues of Bonds offered under this Offer Document. The credit rating of each issue of Bonds rates the ability of the relevant Trust to pay the full amount of the interest and principal on the Bonds issued by it, when due to investors. A rating of the Bonds is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold Bonds and may be subject to revision, suspension or withdrawal at any time by Fitch Ratings. The rating of the Bonds does not address the adequacy of the market price of a Bond, the suitability of any Bond for a particular investor or the taxation consequences of payments made in respect of any Bond. Fitch Ratings has not been involved in the preparation of this Offer Document. Credit ratings allow investors to understand the credit quality of the Authorised Investments (and in particular the MortgageBacked Securities) held by each Trust and associated with the issue of Bonds by each Trust. When comparing investments of different credit ratings, a higher credit rating indicates that the credit rating agency has assessed a lower risk of non-payment of interest and principal when due. The anticipated credit ratings for the Bonds are BBB. However, a revision, suspension, or withdrawal of a rating for the Bonds will not constitute an event of default in respect of the Bonds. More information can be obtained about Fitch Ratings from its website at www.fitchratings.com

Fitch Ratings makes no representations or warranties as to the completeness or appropriateness of any other information contained in this Offer Document. Neither Fitch Ratings, nor any director or employee of Fitch Ratings is, or is intended to be, a director, officer or employee of, or professional adviser to, RMB Trustee. 2.1 Description of Trusts Each Trust is a special purpose vehicle which is governed by the Trust Deed and which has been established for the purpose of acquiring and holding Authorised Investments, being predominantly Mortgage-Backed Securities. The Master Trust Deed provides for the creation of an unlimited number of Trusts. Each Trust is a separate and distinct Trust and has been created pursuant to the Master Trust Deed and a Supplemental Trust Deed, establishing specific provisions of the relevant Trust and the bonds to be issued by RMB Trustee as trustee of that Trust. Multiple classes of bonds may be issued by RMB Trustee in relation to each Trust that differ among themselves as to priority of repayment and credit rating. In its capacity as trustee of each Trust, RMB Trustee will issue the Bonds to fund the purchase of or subscription for a pool of Mortgage-Backed Securities as detailed in paragraph 2.19 and other Authorised Investments. Title to the Mortgage-Backed Securities will be held by RMB Trustee. RMB Trustee will provide security for the benefit of the Bondholders by granting a first-ranking security interest over all of the present and future property of each Trust in favour of the Trustee. 2.19 Trusts investment in mortgage-backed securities Each Trust will be using the proceeds of Bonds issued by it to acquire or subscribe for residential or commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities and to pay the ongoing expenses of that Trust. The Mortgage-Backed Securities are residential or commercial mortgagebacked securities which have been issued by certain entities which are known as the Propertyfinance Securities Trusts. The Propertyfinance Securities Trusts are trusts which own pools of residential and commercial mortgages. These residential and commercial mortgages were originated by PFSL, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of PFG. A description of the mortgage securitisation programmes undertaken through the Propertyfinance Securities Trusts is set out in paragraph 2.20.
The Mortgage-Backed Securities issued or to be issued by the Propertyfinance Securities Trusts will be acquired or subscribed for by the Trusts at full face value. The interest and principal returns which are received by the Trusts from the Mortgage-Backed Securities and other Authorised Investments will be used by the Trusts to pay the payment of interest and principal on the Bonds. The Mortgage-Backed Securities which are to be transferred to or subscribed for by RMB Trustee from the Bond issue proceeds are as follows: (a) Rated Mortgage CM 2006-1 Trust: Class D Notes (rated BBB by Fitch Ratings) issued by The New Zealand Guardian Trust Company Limited as trustee of the Propertyfinance Securities CM 2005-2 Trust (these are commercial mortgage-backed notes); and (b) Rated Mortgage RML 2006-2 Trust: Class D Notes (rated BBB by Fitch Ratings) issued by The New Zealand Guardian Trust Company Limited as trustee of the Propertyfinance Securities RML 2005-3 Trust (these are residential mortgage-backed notes). RMB Trustee may also at any time substitute other Authorised Investments for the Mortgage-Backed Securities acquired or subscribed for by RMB Trustee from the proceeds of the Bonds in respect of a Trust, so long as such substitute Authorised Investments: (a) are on terms consistent with those MortgageBacked Securities; (b) have a repayment date not later than the Maturity Date of the Bonds issued by RMB Trustee as trustee of that Trust; (c) are Eligible Investments; (d) do not cause the rating of the Bonds issued by RMB Trustee as trustee of that Trust acquiring them to be qualified or downgraded; and (e) have been confirmed by the Trustee as being Authorised Investments.

The steps in the process are: PFSL lends money to its customers on residential or commercial mortgages; the mortgages are sold by PFSL to the Propertyfinance Securities Trusts; the Propertyfinance Securities Trusts issue the MortgageBacked Securities; the Trusts purchase or subscribe for MortgageBacked Securities; the Trusts fund the purchase or subscription by issuing the Bonds.

Although the Mortgage-Backed Securities are to be acquired from PFSL (see paragraph 2.20 above) or by way of direct subscription from the Propertyfinance Securities Trusts, it is not intended that in the future RMB Trusts will be created solely for the purpose of raising money from the public to pass it on for use by either PFSL or any other member of the group of companies of which PFG is the holding company. Instead, it is intended that in the future further RMB Trusts will be created to acquire or subscribe for mortgage-backed securities and other authorised investments issued not only by PFSL but also by other originators and issuers. None of the Trusts have any obligations to PFSL or any other member of the PFG group of companies, except for the obligation of the Trusts to pay to PFSL the management fees which are referred to in paragraph 3.4 of this Offer Document. The Mortgage-Backed Securities are to be acquired or subscribed for by the Trusts at full face value. Copies of the Information Memoranda which were published by PFSL for the original issue of the Mortgage-Backed Securities can be obtained from PFSL at the registered office of RMB Trustee set out in the Directory. PFSL itself offers to the public secured debenture stock investments under a Debenture Trust Deed dated 14 August 2001 (the trustee of which is Covenant Trustee Company Limited). PFSL has a current investment statement and prospectus, which can be accessed from PFSLs website at www.propertyfinancegroup.co.nz. Financial information about PFSL, and details of its activities, are contained in the current investment statement and prospectus. PFSLs details can also be accessed at the Companies Office website www.companies.govt.nz. None of PFG or any other member of the PFG group of companies guarantees the Bonds.

(The 3 month bank bill bid settlement rate as at 17 November 2006 was 7.66%). The Ordinary Margin applies from the Subscription Date of the Bonds until (but excluding) the Initial Call Option Date. The Step-Up Margin applies on and from the Initial Call Option Date if RMB Trustee does not exercise the Call Option on that date.
The Interest Rate is reset on a quarterly basis on and with effect from the following dates: (a) For the Rated Mortgage CM 2006-1 Trust, 7 March, 7 June, 7 September and 7 December in each year; and (b) For the Rated Mortgage RML 2006-2 Trust, 9 February, 9 May, 9 August and 9 November in each year. On any early repayment of the Bonds (whether on the exercise of the Call Option by RMB Trustee or on prepayment of the Bonds as described on page 7), interest will be paid on the Bonds to the date of repayment. RMB Trustee may only exercise the Call Option if it: (a) elects to do so 10 Business Days prior to the relevant Call Option Date; (b) has available to it on the relevant Call Option Date sufficient funds to redeem the principal amount of all Bonds on that Call Option Date and pay all accrued interest and other amounts payable in respect of such Bonds in full; and (c) will be able to meet its obligations to creditors in full. RMB Trustee must give 10 Business Days notice prior to the relevant Call Option Date to Bondholders that it will be exercising its Call Option on the relevant Call Option Date. Resident withholding tax will be deducted by RMB Trustee from interest paid or compounded unless the Bondholder supplies RMB Trustee with a certificate of exemption. If the Bondholder supplies RMB Trustee with his or her IRD number, then the resident withholding tax will be deducted at the rate of 19.5% unless the Bondholder requests RMB Trustee to deduct resident withholding tax at the rate of 33% or 39%. If the Bondholder does not supply RMB Trustee with his or her IRD number, then resident withholding tax must be deducted at the rate of 39%. Non-resident withholding tax will be deducted by RMB Trustee from interest paid to or applied for the benefit of a Bondholder who is not a resident of New Zealand and who is not engaged in business in New Zealand through a fixed establishment in New Zealand. Non-resident withholding tax on interest is currently levied at a rate of 15%, reducing to 10% under certain double tax agreements with New Zealand. RMB Trustee has obtained approved issuer status and intends to register the Bonds as registered securities for the purposes of the approved issuer levy provisions in Part VIB of the Stamp and Cheque Duties Act 1971. If the Bonds are so registered, RMB Trustee may, upon request, agree to reduce non-resident withholding tax to 0% in consideration of reducing the interest paid to the Bondholder by an amount of approximately 2% of the interest. This represents the approved issuer levy that will be paid by RMB Trustee to the Inland Revenue Department.

Non-residents who acquire Bonds in the secondary market should advise the Registrar of their tax position. RMB Trustee will make the relevant deductions referred to above unless it is satisfied by the holder of the relevant Bonds that such deductions are not required by law. RMB Trustee will not be required to gross-up interest payments on the Bonds on account of any such deductions. Income derived from the Bonds, such as interest, may be subject to tax under the New Zealand taxation accrual rules. The accrual rules apply to New Zealand residents and to non-residents to the extent that the Bonds relate to a business carried on by the non-resident through a fixed establishment in New Zealand. If the accrual rules apply, the sale of any Bonds will give rise to a base price adjustment calculation for the Bondholder pursuant to those rules. The calculation will include all the consideration received by the Bondholder (i.e. interest and the sale proceeds) less the consideration paid to acquire the Bonds. An adjustment will be made for income, or expenditure amounts that have been dealt with for tax purposes in earlier years. The effect of this is to tax any previously unrecognised gain on the Bonds. Losses may be deductible if the relevant criteria are met. The above statements are based on applicable New Zealand tax legislation and interpretations thereof current at the date of this Offer Document. No assurance can be given that applicable tax legislation and interpretations thereof will not be changed in the future. All references to taxation in this Offer Document are of a general nature only, and are not (and should not be construed as) legal or tax advice to any Bondholder. They are not intended to deal with all relevant considerations or possible cases. Bondholders should consult their own taxation or other financial advisers concerning the taxation implications, in their particular circumstances, of owning and/or disposing of Bonds. RMB Trustee is the sole person liable to Bondholders in respect of the Bonds and none of the Lead Manager, the Organising Participant, the Arranger, the Trustee, nor any of their respective directors, officers or employees, or any other person, guarantees the Bonds or the returns that Bondholders may receive as holders of Bonds. For each Trust, RMB Trustee will make payments on each Interest Payment Date out of the Income of that Trust for the Interest Period relating to that Interest Payment Date in the order of priority set out below. RMB Trustee may only make payments of interest to Bondholders if it has made payments in full to persons ranking ahead of it. To the extent that RMB Trustee has insufficient Income in respect of a Trust to make such prior
ranking payments, the Bondholders may not receive their interest in full or at all. The order of priority is: (a) payment of any Taxes payable in relation to the Trust; (b) payment of fees and expenses owing to the Trustee; (c) payment of fees and expenses owing to RMB Trustee; (d) payment of any interest for the relevant Interest Period which ends on that Interest Payment Date (and any interest payable in respect of previous Interest Periods to the extent not previously paid) to Bondholders; (e) crediting the Expenses Reserve Account until the balance thereof is equal to the Expenses Reserve Maximum Amount; (f) as to any remaining balance, (but to an amount not exceeding $30,000) by retaining such balance in the Trust, first to be taxed as trustee income and then subsequently distributed to the Residual Income Beneficiary; and (g) as to any excess over and above the amount of $30,000 referred to in subclause (e), in payment to PFSL of such excess as a management fee. The Bonds are limited recourse Bonds, which means that Bondholders of Bonds in respect of any individual Trust will have recourse only to the assets of that Trust and not to the assets of any other Trust. The Bonds issued by each Trust are secured by a firstranking security interest over the present and future property of that Trust. Following the enforcement of the General Security Agreement of a Trust, the Bondholders of Bonds issued by RMB Trustee in respect of that Trust will have priority over all other creditors of that Trust, except to the extent that amounts are due: (a) creditors given preference by law; (b) a receiver; and (c) the Trustee (including all expenses, losses and liabilities sustained or incurred by the Trustee, as well as fees payable to the Trustee in regards to the performance of its obligations under the Trust Deed, and any default interest on each such amount).

Ranking of RMB Trustee as holder of MortgageBacked Securities In respect of each of the Propertyfinance Securities Trusts in which RMB Trustee holds the Mortgage-Backed Securities, the following ranking of claims will apply in the event of an enforcement by NZGT (PFS) Security Trustee Limited (a wholly-owned subsidiary of NZGT) of the security which it holds (over the assets of the relevant Propertyfinance Securities Trusts): (a) For the Rated Mortgage CM 2006-1 Trust (which holds notes issued by the Propertyfinance Securities CM 2005-2 Trust): the refund to PFSL of any interest on mortgage loans which is received by the Propertyfinance Securities CM 2005-2 Trust for the period prior to the date of the sale of the mortgage by PFSL to the Propertyfinance Securities CM 2005-2 Trust; any taxes owing by the Propertyfinance Securities CM 2005-2 Trust; payment to the provider of any swap facilities of break payments received from borrowers under fixed rate mortgages; the fees and expenses of the trustee, the security trustee, the trust manager and the servicer in respect of the Propertyfinance Securities CM 2005-2 Trust; payments toward topping up the Cash Reserve Account of the Propertyfinance Securities CM 2005-2 Trust to the required minimum level; the claims of the holders of the Class A, B and C notes issued in respect of the Propertyfinance Securities CM 2005-2 Trust; and the claims of the holders of the Class D notes issued in respect of the Propertyfinance Securities CM 2005-2 Trust (including RMB Trustee as holder of the Mortgage-Backed Securities). (b) For the Rated Mortgage RML 2006-2 Trust (which Trust hold notes issued by the Propertyfinance Securities RML 2005-3 Trust): the refund to PFSL of any interest on mortgage loans which is received by the Propertyfinance Securities RML 2005-3 Trust for the period prior to the date of the sale of the mortgage by PFSL to the Propertyfinance Securities RML 2005-3 Trust; any taxes owing by the Propertyfinance Securities RML 2005-3 Trust; payment to the provider of any swap facilities of break payments received from borrowers under fixed rate mortgages;

Ranking of Bondholders Pre-Enforcement For each Trust, RMB Trustee will make payments on each Interest Payment Date out of the Income of that Trust for the Interest Period relating to that Interest Payment Date in the order of priority set out below. RMB Trustee may only make payments of interest to Bondholders if it has made payments in full to persons ranking ahead of it. To the extent that RMB Trustee has insufficient Income in respect of a Trust to make such prior ranking payments, the Bondholders may not receive their interest in full or at all. The order of priority is: (a) payment of any Taxes payable in relation to the Trust; (b) payment of fees and expenses owing to the Trustee; (c) payment of fees and expenses owing to RMB Trustee; (d) payment of any interest for the relevant Interest Period which ends on that Interest Payment Date (and any interest payable in respect of previous Interest Periods to the extent not previously paid) to Bondholders; (e) crediting the Expenses Reserve Account until the balance thereof is equal to the Expenses Reserve Maximum Amount; (f) as to any remaining balance, (but to an amount not exceeding $30,000) by retaining such balance in the Trust, first to be taxed as trustee income and then subsequently distributed to the Residual Income Beneficiary; and (g) as to any excess over and above the amount of $30,000 referred to in subclause (f), in payment to PFSL of such excess as a management fee.

the Authorised Investments of a Trust for the principal amount plus accrued interest and any other amounts then outstanding under those Authorised Investments. Accordingly, the Trustee may be unable to realise the full value of the Authorised Investments of a Trust which may impact upon the Trustees ability to redeem all outstanding Bonds of that Trust at that time. Nature of Security Under the General Security Agreement of each Trust, RMB Trustee has granted a first-ranking security interest over all the present and after-acquired property of that Trust in favour of the Trustee, and RMB Trustee has covenanted with the Trustee not to create any other security interest over the assets of that Trust, without the prior written consent of the Trustee. Reinvestment and Substitution Risk Principal may be paid or repaid on an Authorised Investment of a Trust prior to the redemption of the Bonds of that Trust. If this occurs then the prevailing rate of interest will cease to accrue on the repaid portion of that Authorised Investment and the new rate received by the Trust upon reinvestment may be lower. RMB Trustee is permitted to acquire and hold the Mortgage-Backed Securities as Authorised Investments. The Mortgage-Backed Securities held by a Trust are backed by mortgage loans which, although they may have a legal term of up to 30 years, are often repaid earlier than that by the borrower. PFSL is entitled to substitute new loans (which satisfy strict eligibility criteria) for loans which have been prepaid. This creates reinvestment risk where the new loans may be at lower yields than the old loans, given market movements. Under certain circumstances, this could lead to insufficient loan pool yield to meet the obligations under the Bonds that are supported by this loan pool and this could also affect RMB Trustees ability to service the Bonds. Failure by RMB Trustee to seek confirmation from Fitch Ratings that the acquisition of additional Authorised Investments will not cause a downgrade, qualification, or withdrawal of the credit rating of the Bonds will result in an event of default. Reinvestment risk may also arise in the event that RMB Trustee sells more Bonds in respect of a Trust than RMB Trustee has Mortgage-Backed Securities of that Trust in which to invest. In such circumstances, RMB Trustee will place the excess capital raised on bank deposits and other Authorised Investments. For certain volumes and time frames it is possible that, should this excess not be invested in MortgageBacked Securities of a Trust, a shortfall in the yield available to service the interest payments under the Bonds of that
Trust may arise. In the event that, for any Trust, the excess capital raised and invested in Authorised Investments (other than Mortgage-Backed Securities) in the two immediately preceding monthly periods exceeds 10% of the total Authorised Investments of that Trust, RMB Trustee will then have an obligation to use the excess to prepay all or part of the principal amount of the Bonds issued by the relevant Trust, unless RMB Trustee holds within the relevant Trust sufficient assets, funding or provisions to meet payments of interest on the Bonds when due. In the event that RMB Trustee is required to make such prepayment, Bondholders who have paid a premium over face value to acquire their Bonds may suffer a loss, since the Bonds will be prepaid based on their face value. A reinvestment risk may also arise in the event that the Interest Payment Dates on the Bonds do not exactly match the interest payment dates on the Mortgage-Backed Securities or other Authorised Investments. Long maturity profile and interest rate step-up If the Call Option is not exercised by RMB Trustee, Bondholders will have to wait until the Maturity Date before they receive their principal back, given the length of that period of time, a wide variety of local or international developments of a legal, social, economic, political, or other nature may conceivably impact on the ability of RMB Trustee to repay the Bonds. If the Call Option is not exercised on the Initial Call Option Date, the Interest Rate will increase by the relevant Step-Up Margin on and from the Initial Call Option Date. However, this higher interest rate may give rise to a higher risk of default by RMB Trustee. Rating Risk The credit ratings attached to the Bonds may in certain circumstances be downgraded, qualified, or withdrawn. This may affect the value of the Bonds. Investors bear the risk of this occurring, since any downgrade, qualification, or withdrawal of a rating for the Bonds will not constitute an event of default in respect of the Bonds. Bonds limited recourse instruments The Bonds issued by RMB Trustee are limited recourse bonds and are issued only in respect of each relevant Trust. The rights of each Bondholder to take action with respect to any amounts owing to it by RMB Trustee is limited to the assets of the relevant Trust in the manner prescribed by the Trust Deed and by the General Security Agreement relating to that Trust. The Bonds are debt obligations of RMB Trustee as trustee of each Trust. They are issued with the benefit of, and subject to, the Transaction Documents.

amendments that are necessary for the purpose of obtaining or maintaining quotation of the Bonds on the NZDX; and amendments required in order to ensure compliance with statutory or other regulatory requirements. Other amendments must be approved by a 75% majority of the votes of Bondholders present or represented at a meeting of Bondholders or signing a resolution in writing. . How do I cash in my investment? Unless the Bonds become repayable prematurely by reason of default by RMB Trustee, Bondholders will not be entitled to repayment of the principal amount invested until the Bonds mature on 31 December 2050 (or earlier if the Bonds are required to be prepaid in whole or in part or if the Call Option is exercised by RMB Trustee). Bondholders are entitled to sell or transfer their Bonds at any time prior to maturity subject to the terms of the Trust Deed and applicable securities laws and regulations. Bonds may be transferred using a transfer document in any form approved by the Registrar, or by any other method of transferring securities which is not contrary to any law, and which may be operated in accordance with the Listing Rules of NZX (Listing Rules). The amount that a Bondholder receives from the sale of Bonds may differ from the amount which the Bondholder paid for them. This is because changes in market interest rates after the date of subscription or purchase, or perceived changes in the creditworthiness of RMB Trustee, may affect their value. For instance, the value of the Bonds can fall if market interest rates rise, and vice versa. The proximity of the selling date to the next Interest Payment Date can also affect the value of the Bonds. RMB Trustee will not compensate Bondholders for any loss they may incur if they sell their Bonds. Applicants for Bonds should not attempt to sell any Bonds until they know whether any, and if so how many, Bonds have been allotted to them. Except as approved by RMB Trustee, or as required under the Listing Rules, no transfer of Bonds will be registered if registration (together with the registration of all contemporaneous transfers) would result in either the transferor or the transferee holding a parcel of less than $5,000 of Bonds. As the Offer is for an initial issue of Bonds, there is no currently established market for the sale of the Bonds. Application has been made to NZX for permission to list the Bonds on the NZDX and all the requirements of NZX relating thereto that can be complied with on or before the date of this Offer Document have been duly complied with.
However, NZX accepts no responsibility for any statement in this Offer Document. Brokerage at applicable rates may be payable by Bondholders to their selling agent on the transfer of Bonds. .9 Who do I contact with enquiries about my investment?

4.0 Summary of principal provisions of trust deed and general security agreements
The Master Trust Deed is dated 11 August 2006 and was entered into between RMB Trustee and the Trustee as trustee for the holders of the Bonds. The Master Trust Deed is supplemented by Supplemental Trust Deeds dated 3 November 2006 between the Trustee and RMB Trustee pursuant to which the Bonds will be constituted and issued. The General Security Agreement for each Trust is dated 3 November 2006 and was entered into between RMB Trustee and the Trustee. In this summary, words commencing with capital letters and which are not defined in this summary are defined in the Trust Deed. .1 Introduction The following is a summary of the principal provisions of the Trust Deed under which the Bonds will be constituted and issued (other than those set out elsewhere in this Offer Document), and of the General Security Agreements. Investors requiring further information should refer to the Trust Deed and the General Security Agreements, which are available for inspection at the places referred to under the heading What other information can I obtain about this investment? on page 26. Bondholders of a Trust are entitled to the benefit of, are bound by, and are deemed to have notice of, the provisions of the Trust Deed and the General Security Agreement of that Trust. References in this section 4 to Bonds, Bondholders and Trust Deed are references to the Bonds, Bondholders and the Trust Deed of a Trust. .2 Interest on the Bonds Interest Rate and payment Interest is payable on the Bonds as detailed under the heading Interest Rate commencing on page 8. Withholding tax or Approved Issuer Levy, where applicable, will be deducted from payments of interest, as detailed on page 16. Unpaid Interest If interest is not paid on its due date for any reason it will bear default interest at the Interest Rate plus 2% per annum, compounding quarterly. . Enforcement At any time after the occurrence of an event of default in relation to any Bonds the Trustee at its discretion may, and if so directed by or pursuant, to an Extraordinary Resolution of the Bondholders of the relevant Trust shall, declare that the Bonds issued by the relevant Trust are immediately due and payable and take such steps as it may think fit to enforce payment of amounts owing in respect of the Bonds of that Trust, including appointment of a receiver and (whether or not a receiver has been appointed) exercising all or any of the powers of a receiver. The Trust Deed contains an extensive list of events of default in relation to the Bonds. The occurrence of an event of default in respect of Bonds issued by any single Trust will not automatically also constitute an event of default in relation to Bonds issued by any other Trust. Whilst the Trust Deed sets out a number of possible events of default which can occur in respect of any Trust, the most common event of default is likely to be non-payment of principal or interest on any Bonds. In the event of such non-payment, the enforcement rights referred to above can be exercised by the Trustee, but only in relation to the Trust which has issued the defaulting Bonds and not in relation to any other Trust. . Further Issues of Securities Under the Trust Deed, RMB Trustee has the power in respect of any Trust to create and issue additional debt obligations ranking equally with the Bonds (further bonds) without the consent of the Bondholders. Such further bonds will either rank equally in all respects with the Bonds already issued by the relevant Trust or otherwise on such terms as RMB Trustee thinks fit. Any further bonds are to be constituted by a deed, in a form agreed to by the Trustee and RMB Trustee, supplemental to the Trust Deed. Such further bonds will have the benefit of the security interest conferred by the relevant General Security Agreement, and of the negative covenants contained therein. . Negative Pledge Under the General Security Agreement of a Trust, RMB Trustee has covenanted with the Trustee that it will not create or permit to subsist any security interest over or affect whole or any part of the Secured Assets of that Trust, other than the security interest and charge granted by RMB Trustee to the Trustee under that General Security Agreement. .6 Partial Releases of Secured ssets Before the Trustee issues a notice to RMB Trustee declaring the Bonds of a Trust to be immediately due and payable, the Trustee must, upon a request in writing from RMB Trustee and without reference to or approval by the Bondholders release any part of the Secured Assets of each Trust from any security interest created by or pursuant to the Trust Deed or the General Security Agreement of that Trust, and/or execute all documents which may be necessary to effect such release if:

(a) RMB Trustee provides the Trustee with valuations or other reasonable evidence that market or otherwise reasonable value is being or will be received, and retained, as Secured Assets; or (b) the Trustee is satisfied that the circumstances otherwise justify the release and upon and subject to such terms and conditions as in its discretion the Trustee may specify. In any case where the Trustee is not satisfied that market or otherwise reasonable value is being received or that the circumstances otherwise justify, the Trustee must release any part of the Secured Assets of a Trust from any security interest created by or pursuant to the Trust Deed or the General Security Agreement of that Trust and/or execute all documents which may be necessary to effect such release, if the Trustee has been authorised by an Extraordinary Resolution of the Bondholders of that Trust. .

The Trustee must also exercise reasonable diligence to ascertain whether or not the assets of the Trusts are sufficient or likely to be sufficient to discharge the amounts of the Bonds as they become due; (b) subject to section 62 of the Securities Act 1978: (i) until the Trustee has received notice from RMB Trustee, the auditor or a Bondholder that a breach has occurred, or has received notice that liquidation of RMB Trustee has commenced, it is entitled to assume that no such breach has occurred; and (ii) the Trustee is not liable to Bondholders unless it has acted in breach of trust, negligently, fraudulently, or in wilful default , or has otherwise failed to show the degree of care and diligence required of it having regard to its obligations under the Trust Deed, the General Security Agreements, or at law. The Trustee may, amongst other things, in relation to the Bonds: (a) agree to certain amendments to the provisions of the Trust Deed on behalf of Bondholders; (b) represent the Bondholders in certain matters or proceedings concerning them generally; (c) give certain waivers and make certain determinations which will be binding on Bondholders, if, in the case of a waiver the Trustee is satisfied that the interests of Bondholders will not be materially prejudiced or if the waiver is approved or directed by an Extraordinary Resolution of Bondholders; (d) invest any money held in its capacity as Trustee, at its discretion, in the name of the Trustee or its nominee, in any investment it considers fit, with power to vary, transpose or dispose of such investments in accordance with the terms of the Trust Deed; (e) notify Bondholders of certain matters affecting their interests, convene meetings, or otherwise seek directions from the Bondholders or the Court in respect of such matters; (f) receive and distribute amounts paid in respect of Bonds (if they are not paid to Bondholders directly), and hold and return to, or for the account of, RMB Trustee any amounts required by the terms of the Bonds; (g) in performance of its duties, rely on certificates and reports from RMB Trustee and the auditor and, in the event of the liquidation or receivership of RMB Trustee, its liquidator or receiver, and the advice or opinion of professional advisers; (h) decline to act unless protected for its liabilities, costs and expenses.

The Trust Deed also provides for certain indemnities in favour of the Trustee, which rank in priority to the claims of Bondholders, and contains restrictions on the disclosure by the Trustee to any Bondholder of confidential information provided by RMB Trustee. . Reporting requirements The Trust Deed requires RMB Trustee to provide the following reports to the Trustee: (a) not later than 4 months after the end of each financial year, a copy of the annual financial statements for each Trust; (b) not later than 3 months after the end of each financial half-year, a copy of the half-yearly financial statements for each Trust; (c) not later than 10 Business Days after the end of each month, a monthly report setting out details of the performance of the Authorised Investments of each Trust; and (d) not later than 4 weeks after the end of each quarter, a directors reporting certificate, certifying as to certain matters, including the ability of RMB Trustee and the Trusts to meet payment obligations under and in respect of the Bonds during the following 12 months. .9 Meetings of Bondholders The Trust Deed sets out in detail the procedures for the holding of meetings of the Bondholders. RMB Trustee may convene a meeting of the Bondholders at any time and will be required to convene a meeting of the Bondholders at the request in writing of Bondholders holding not less than 10% of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Bonds issued by any Trust. The Trustee may also at any time convene a meeting of the Bondholders of any Trust. .10 Enforcement of General Security greements The Trustee will be entitled to enforce the security over the assets of each Trust, acting pursuant to the provisions of the relevant General Security Agreement, upon the occurrence of an event of default under either the Trust Deed or the General Security Agreement. In particular, after an event of default has occurred, the Trustee may in its discretion and shall immediately upon being directed to do so by an Extraordinary Resolution of the Bondholders of the relevant Trust, declare the Bonds to be immediately due and payable, and the Trustee may also appoint a receiver over the assets and undertaking of the relevant Trust. The events of default applicable in respect of each Trust are in summary: Non-payment of principal or interest on the Bonds of that Trust when due;
Any breach by RMB Trustee of its obligations under the Trust Deed, if not remedied within 30 days; Any misrepresentation by RMB Trustee; The termination of that Trust; The appointment of a receiver over that Trust; The levying of legal process against the assets of that Trust; The insolvency of that Trust; Any default by that Trust in respect of any other obligations; Any invalidity of any Transaction Document; The withdrawal of any consent required under any Transaction Document; Any inability of RMB Trustee or the Standby Manager to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents; Any other event of default described under any other Transaction Document or the Trust Deed.
.11 mendments to Trust Deed RMB Trustee may, with the agreement of the Trustee, but without the consent of the Bondholders, modify or amend the Trust Deed in the circumstances specified in the Trust Deed, which are detailed under the section entitled Can the investment be altered? commencing on page 24. Each such variation must be in writing and signed by both RMB Trustee and the Trustee and will be binding on all Bondholders. Other amendments must be approved by an Extraordinary Resolution of Bondholders and when so approved will be binding on all Bondholders, whether or not the Bondholders are present or represented at the meeting at which it is passed or (where the Extraordinary Resolution is in writing) have signed the resolution. An Extraordinary Resolution is a resolution supported by not less than 75% of the votes cast in person or by proxy at a duly convened meeting of Bondholders, or a resolution signed by all the Bondholders of that Trust. .12 Miscellaneous The Trust Deed also contains detailed provisions relating to registration of the holdings of Bondholders, the transfer of Bonds and various other matters. Each Bondholder must as required by law be issued with a certificate or other written statement or acknowledgement representing their Bonds. The Trustee and RMB Trustee are entitled to rely on the Register as the sole and conclusive record of the Bonds, notwithstanding any discrepancy between the Register and a certificate or other acknowledgement.
