19.1 Official Quotation
While the Notes are Officially Quoted, RE, the Note Trustee and each
Noteholder must comply with the provisions of the Listing Rules, if applicable to them.
19.2 Statutory requirements
(a) If the Corporations Act requires that this deed contain certain provisions, then those provisions:
(i) are deemed to be incorporated into this deed at all times at which, and to the extent to which, they are required to be included; and
(ii) prevail over any other provisions of this deed to the extent of any inconsistency.
(b) For the avoidance of any doubt, where clause 19.2(a)(i) operates to deem a provision to be incorporated into this deed, it is deemed to be
incorporated as a separate and distinct provision.
19.3 Listing Rules
(a) While the Notes are Officially Quoted:
(i) notwithstanding anything contained in this deed, if the Listing Rules prohibit an act being done, the act shall not be done;
(ii) nothing contained in this deed prevents an act being done that the Listing Rules require to be done;
(iii) if the Listing Rules require an act to be done or not to be done, authority is given for that act to be done or not to be done (as the case may be);
(iv) if the Listing Rules require this deed to contain a provision and it does not contain such a provision, this deed is deemed to contain that provision;
(v) if the Listing Rules require this deed not to contain a provision and it contains such a provision, this deed is deemed not to contain that provision; and
(vi) if any provision of this deed is or becomes inconsistent with the Listing Rules, this deed is deemed not to contain that provision to the extent of the inconsistency.
20 Discharge and release
RE is immediately discharged and released from its obligations and liabilities under this deed in respect of any Note on the date certified by two Directors of RE to the Note Trustee to be the date on which the last of the following occurs:
(a) the outstanding principal amount of that Note and accrued interest on that Note is redeemed, paid or repaid or otherwise satisfied in full; and (b) all fees and Costs of the Note Trustee payable or reimbursable by RE
under this deed have been paid, and the Note Trustee must at RE’s request promptly notify RE of the amount of such fees and Costs.
21 No recourse against others
Subject to the Corporations Act, no recourse may be had for the payment of the principal of or interest on any of the Notes or for any claim based on such payment or otherwise in respect of such payment, and no recourse may be had under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of RE in this deed or in any of the Notes, or because of the creation of any indebtedness represented by the Notes, against any shareholder, partner, officer, Director, employee, contractor or controlling person of RE. Each Noteholder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability, and such waiver and release is part of the consideration for the issue of the Notes.
22 Notices and other communications
22.1 Form of notices
Subject to the Corporations Act, a notice or other communication required to be given under this deed must be given in writing (which includes a fax) or in such other manner as RE determines or as otherwise permitted by the Corporations Act, and be delivered or sent to the recipient at:
(a) in the case of RE or the Note Trustee, as set out in the Details, or as notified otherwise; and
(b) in the case of a Noteholder, at the physical or electronic address last advised to RE for delivery of notices.
22.2 Cheques payable to Noteholders
A cheque payable to a Noteholder may be posted to the Noteholder’s physical address or handed to the Noteholder or a person authorised in writing by the Noteholder.

22.4 Receipt of communications
A notice, cheque or other communication sent by post is taken to be received on the Business Day after it is posted and a document (other than a notice of meeting of Noteholders) sent by fax or electronic transmission is taken to be received 1 hour after receipt by the transmitter of confirmation of transmission from the receiving fax machine or computer to which the message was
transmitted. Proof of actual receipt is not required. Subject to the Corporations Act, RE may determine the time at which other forms of communication will be taken to be received.
22.5 Notices to RE
(a) A notice by a Noteholder to RE is effective only at the time of receipt.
(b) A notice by a Noteholder to RE must bear the actual, facsimile or electronic signature of the Noteholder or a duly authorised officer or representative of the Noteholder unless RE dispenses with this requirement.
22.6 Communications via website
(a) Despite any other provision of this deed, a notice of Meeting given by the Note Trustee in accordance with paragraph 4 (“Notice of
Meeting”) of the Meeting Provisions following the occurrence of an Event of Default may specify that the Note Trustee intends to make
further communications to the Noteholders in relation to the Meeting via the Note Trustee's website.
(b) If clause 22.6(a) applies, then subject to the Corporations Act, communications posted to the Note Trustee's website:
(i) will satisfy the requirements of this clause 22; and
(ii) will take effect from the time at which the communications are posted to the Note Trustee's website.
22.7 Notice to transferor binds transferee
Every person who, by operation of law, transfer or any other means, becomes entitled to be registered as the holder of any Notes is bound by every notice which, prior to the person's name and address being entered in the Register, was properly given to the person from whom the person derived title to those Notes.
22.8 Service on deceased Noteholders
A notice served in accordance with this clause 22 is (despite the fact that the Noteholder is then dead and whether or not RE has notice of the Noteholder's death) considered to have been properly served in respect of any Notes, whether held solely or jointly with other persons by the Noteholder, until some other person is registered in the Noteholder's place as the Noteholder or joint Noteholder. The service is sufficient service of the notice or document on the Noteholder's personal representative and any person jointly interested with the Noteholder in the Notes.
