Determination of variables in relation to a class 3A.4 In making any determination of variables properly referable to a class under this deed (for example, Net Asset Value, Value and Liabilities), the Trustee must ensure that any variable which relates: only to a particular class is solely referable to that class, and to more than one class, is apportioned between those classes in the same proportions as the aggregate value of Units on issue in each class as at the most recent Valuation Time bears to the aggregate value of Units in all classes on issue at that Valuation Time, to which the variable relates. Value of class Units 3A.5 In clause 3A.4, the value of a Unit in a class is the mid-point between the applicable Application Price and Redemption Price for Units in that class at the most recent Valuation Time. 4.

Number of additional Units 4.2 Subject to clause 4.3, when additional Units are created in accordance with clause 4.1, the number of additional Units created is calculated by dividing the amount of application money received in respect of the issue of the Units by the Application Price of the Units to be issued. 4.3 Additional Units may be issued where the terms of the acquisition of an Asset provide for the payment of the whole or part of the purchase price of the Asset by the issue of Units. The number of additional Units which are issued is to be calculated by dividing the value of the Asset (as determined in accordance with clause 5.6) by the Application Price of the Units to be issued. Cheques to be cleared 4.4 If an applicant for Units in a Trust tenders a cheque to the Trustee in payment of those Units and either the cheque is not met on first presentment or the cheque is dishonoured by the person on whom it is drawn, Units created under clause 4.1 for which the cheque represented payment are void and deemed not to have been created.

The Trustee may allocate to a Unit Holder all or part of the income to which the Unit Holder is entitled from a particular category or source of income in which case the Trustee must advise the Unit Holder of the extent to which income allocated to the Unit Holder consists of income from a particular category or source. 13.7 The net income of the Trust in respect of an Income Entitlement Period once it is calculated is to be transferred to a special account in the name of the Trustee and designated a Distribution Account. Any amount in the Distribution Account does not form part of the Trust Fund but must be held by the Trustee, subject to clause 8.9, on trust for distribution among the persons entitled to it as determined in accordance with clause 13.9. The Trustee may invest any moneys standing to the credit of the Distribution pending disbursement. Moneys standing to the credit of the Distribution Accounts of two or more Trusts may be held in a combined Bank Account in the name of the Trustee. Income earned from the investment is deemed to be income of the Trust or Trusts concerned and must be dealt with accordingly. If the Trustee has exercised its power under clause 13.6 the separate categories and sources of income must be shown in the Distribution Account. 13.8 If any income is received in an Income Entitlement Period when, in the opinion of the Trustee, it is not practicable to distribute it in the distribution for that Income Entitlement Period, it may be treated by the Trustee as having accrued during the next following Income Entitlement Period and distributed accordingly. Participation in distribution of income 13.9 A Unit Holder in a particular Trust is entitled to receive a distribution of the net income of the Trust credited to the Distribution Account in respect of a particular Income Entitlement Period in accordance with the following formula: Where: A x B C A = the amount credited to the Distribution Account in respect of the relevant Income Entitlement Period; B = the aggregate of the number of Units held by the Unit Holder as at the close of business on the last Business Day of the relevant Income Entitlement Period; and C = the aggregate of the total number of Units in Issue as at the close of business on the last Business Day of the relevant Income Entitlement Period. Minter Ellison Ref: NH 20-7134210 Consolidated Trust Deed for the State Super Investment Fund page 26
Deduction of Tax 13.10 The deduction of the following amounts from the part of the Distribution Account to which a particular Unit Holder is entitled is authorised: (c) Tax which is paid or payable by the Trustee on account of or in respect of the Unit Holder on the amount of the net income of the Trust otherwise distributable to that Unit Holder including, without limitation, any amount of Tax payable by reason of the failure of the Unit Holder to provide its tax file number to the Trustee; if it is determined by the Trustee, a charge made by a person on account of Tax imposed on the deposit in an account of the Trust of all amounts received from that Unit Holder during the relevant Income Entitlement Period or any Tax imposed on the Trustee in respect of the receipt by the Trustee of those amounts; and if it is determined by the Trustee, a charge made by a person on account of Tax imposed on or in respect of the debiting in an account of the Trust of the amount of net income of the Trust otherwise distributable to that Unit Holder, and all amounts deducted must be applied in reimbursing the Trust for any corresponding amount paid or reimbursed from the Trust or reimbursing the Trustee for the payment of the Tax to the person or authority entitled to it. Distribution of income 13.11 Subject to any deductions made under clause 13.10 and provided that a Unit Holder in the Trust has not given or is not deemed to have given notice to the Trustee that the Unit Holder's entitlement to income for each Unit in the Trust is to be reinvested under clause 13.20 at the end of the then current Income Distribution Period, the Trustee must distribute to that Unit Holder the Unit Holder's entitlement to the net income of the Trust in respect of all Income Entitlement Periods during an Income Distribution Period, determined in accordance with clause 13.9 within two months following the last Business Day of the Income Distribution Period or on the earlier date of redemption of all of the Units in that Unit Holder's Holding. 13.12 If the Unit Holder's entitlement to net income includes a fraction of a cent the entitlement is to be rounded down to the nearest cent and the fraction of the cent becomes an Asset of the Trust. If the amount of net income to be distributed to any Unit Holder is less than $5.00 or such other reasonable amount determined by the Trustee the Trustee may on behalf of the Unit Holder reinvest the amount which would otherwise be distributed in additional Units in the same Trust. Taxable income greater than net income 13.13 Subject to this deed the Trustee may transfer capital of a Trust to the Distribution Account for the purpose of enabling a distribution to Unit Holders of a total amount equal to the Net Annual Income of the Trust in the event that the Net Annual Income of the Trust exceeds the net income of the Trust for a year of income. 13.14 A transfer under clause 13.13 may not be made to the extent that the excess of the Net Annual Income of a Trust over the net income of that Trust for a year of income is due to the grossing up of any amount of income of the Trust in respect of any tax credit unless: the Trustee is of the opinion that tax is likely to become payable by the Trustee if it does not make the transfer; or the benefit of a tax credit cannot otherwise be made available to Unit Holders of the Trust. If a transfer is not made for this reason the excess Net Annual Income of the Trust and the benefit of any tax credit is deemed to have been distributed to Unit Holders pro rata to their entitlement to any net income of the Trust of the category or source of income in respect of which the credit applied. Minter Ellison Ref: NH 20-7134210 Consolidated Trust Deed for the State Super Investment Fund page 27
Capital reserves and bonus issues 13.15 If determined by the Trustee, any net realised capital gains of a Trust (to the extent to which they are not assessable for income tax or capital gains tax) may be separated from the other income or realised gains of the Trust and credited to a separate account to be known as the Capital Reserve Account. 13.16 The Trustee may distribute to the Unit Holders of a Trust from time to time by way of Cash or other Assets of the Trust as at a date determined by the Trustee an amount equal to so much of the net realised capital gains credited to the Capital Reserve Account as determined by the Trustee. The Trustee must debit the Capital Reserve Account by the amount distributed. 13.17 The distribution of Cash or other Assets to each Unit Holder under clause 13.16 is calculated in accordance with the following formula or in any other manner determined by the Trustee to take into account the duration of time a particular Unit has been in issue: Where: A x B C A = amount of Cash or the Value of Assets determined by the Trustee to be distributed; B = the aggregate of the number of Units held by the Unit Holder as at the close of business on a date determined by the Trustee (Determined Date); and C = the aggregate of the total number of Units in Issue as at the close of business on the Determined Date. 13.18 Any amount standing to the credit of the Capital Reserve Account of a Trust may be capitalised if determined by the Trustee and at a date determined by the Trustee by the creation and issue of bonus units where the issue price of those units is paid from moneys standing to the credit of the Capital Reserve Account. Subject to clause 13.19, the capitalisation is to be effected and the number of Units to be issued to each Unit Holder calculated by dividing the number of Units held by Unit Holders of the Trust by a proportion determined by the Trustee which takes into account the number of Units held by the Unit Holder, the amount of capital gains to be capitalised and other matters in relation to the particular Unit Holder determined by the Trustee. Following the capitalisation: (c) (d) (e) (f) the number of Units in Issue of that Trust will increase accordingly; the Trustee must cause the Register to be amended and take any other steps which the Trustee considers necessary to amend the records of the Trust to reflect the capitalisation; the Trustee may ignore fractions and round down each Unit Holder's entitlement to the nearest whole Unit; the sum capitalised must be debited to the Capital Reserve Account and then treated in the same manner as funds subscribed by Unit Holders to the Trust; the additional Units created will rank for distribution of income and for all other purposes from a date determined by the Trustee; and the Trustee must issue or make available to each Unit Holder a Certificate or Transaction Advice (as applicable to Units in that Trust) for the bonus Units issued to that Unit Holder. 13.19 The number of additional Units created under clause 13.18 must not be less than the number calculated in accordance with the following formula (or, where the number is not a whole number, the highest whole number which is less than the number so calculated): Minter Ellison Ref: NH 20-7134210 Consolidated Trust Deed for the State Super Investment Fund page 28
Where: A B A = the amount standing to the credit of the Capital Reserve Account which is to be capitalised; and B = the Application Price applicable on the day on which the capitalisation is to take place, each Unit created on the capitalisation must be issued at the same price which may be less than the Application Price on that date. Unit Holder reinvestment 13.20 A Unit Holder of a Trust is entitled, if the right of reinvestment of income has been offered under the Disclosure Document relating to that Trust, by giving notice in writing to the Trustee (in the form determined by the Trustee from time to time) to request that the Trustee retain and reinvest in Units the money or part of the money to be distributed to the Unit Holder under clause 13.9 from time to time. The Disclosure Document relating to a Trust may provide that unless the applicant elects to receive cash distributions the income to which he is entitled will be reinvested. In these circumstances the Unit Holder will be deemed to have given notice in writing to the Trustee to retain and reinvest the money which would otherwise be distributed to the Unit Holder pursuant to clause 13.9. 13.21 A Unit Holder may by notice in writing to the Trustee (in the form determined by the Trustee from time to time) received not later than 15 Business Days before the last day of the relevant Income Distribution Period cancel any notice given under clause 13.20. The Unit Holder is entitled to give a further notice under clause 13.20 at any time in respect of any subsequent Income Distribution Period. 13.22 If a notice under clause 13.20 has been given to the Trustee by a Unit Holder prior to 15 Business Days before the last day of the relevant Income Entitlement Period and has not been cancelled under clause 13.21 the Trustee is entitled, but not obliged, from any money to be distributed to the relevant Unit Holder at the date of distribution, to retain all or part of the amount specified in accordance with the notice and reinvest that money on behalf of the Unit Holder in additional Units in the Trust. 13.23 The Application Price payable for each additional Unit in a Trust on reinvestment is the Application Price in respect of Units in the relevant Trust on the day on which those additional Units are issued to the Unit Holder. Notice of reinvestment 13.24 If a Unit Holder has made or is deemed to have made a request under clause 13.20, the Trustee must give notice to the Unit Holder to the effect that the whole or part of the distribution to which the Unit Holder would otherwise have been entitled has been reinvested on the Unit Holder's behalf and the amount of any Tax withheld by the Trustee under clause 13.10. The notice must be given on the issue of the additional Units. 13.25 The Trustee must issue or make available to each Unit Holder a Certificate or Transaction Advice (as applicable to Units in that Trust) for the additional Units. 13.26 For all purposes the net income to be distributed to a Unit Holder is deemed to have been received by the Unit Holder on a reinvestment of that income in additional Units under the terms of this clause 13. Minter Ellison Ref: NH 20-7134210 Consolidated Trust Deed for the State Super Investment Fund page 29
Notice to reinvest lapses upon redemption of all Units 13.27 Where all of the Units held by a Unit Holder in a Trust are redeemed (notwithstanding that the Unit Holder may continue to hold Units in another Trust), any notice given by the Unit Holder under clause 13.20 automatically lapses in respect of the Trust from which the redemption was made, and upon the next date when the Unit Holder would be entitled to receive a distribution under clause 13.11 the Unit Holder must receive a distribution in cash. Quarterly distributions 13.28 The Trustee, may distribute to each Unit Holder in that Trust the Unit Holder's entitlement to the net income of the Trust calculated as at the last day of the Quarter, and otherwise in accordance with clause 13. The Trustee must distribute the Unit Holder's entitlement within 2 Months of the last Business Day of the Quarter. If the Trustee distributes each Unit Holder's entitlement under this clause the provisions of clause 13 apply subject to the word 'Quarter' being substituted for the word 'Income Entitlement Period' in each place it appears. Effect of transfer or transmission of Units 13.29 On the registration of any transfer or transmission of Units in a Trust from any person, including the Trustee, the transferor's interest in any income standing to the credit of the Distribution Account which has not been reinvested under clause 13.22 at the date of transfer remains credited to the account of the transferor and does not pass to the Unit Holder in whose name the Units become registered. 14. Valuation of the Trust Funds Application to Trusts 14.1 The provisions of this clause 14 apply to each Trust except to the extent that the Schedule relating to a Trust provides otherwise. Valuation Roll 14.2 The Trustee must maintain a Valuation Roll for each Trust in which the Trustee records the Value of all Assets which are included in the Trust (without providing for depreciation or the cost of replacement). Periodic valuations 14.3 DELETED Trustee's right to obtain valuation 14.4 The Trustee has the right at any time and from time to time to instruct an appropriately qualified valuer (independent of the Trustee) to value any or all of the Assets of a Trust and on receipt of the valuation must promptly send a copy to the Auditor. The cost of these valuations is borne by the Trust Fund of the relevant Trust. If a valuation discloses a figure lower than them Value of the Asset shown in the Valuation Roll, that lower figure is to be substituted in the Valuation Roll and the lower figure is to be used to calculate the Net Asset Value of the Trust. Trustee may require further valuation 14.5 If the Trustee considers that a valuation obtained under clause 14.4 is significantly different from what, in its opinion, is the Value of the Asset (determined in accordance with the principles set out in clause 14.6), then it may instruct a different valuer (who must also be appropriately qualified and independent of the Trustee) to conduct another valuation of the Asset. The cost of these valuations is borne by the Trust Fund of the relevant Trust. If a valuation discloses a figure lower than the value of the asset shown in the Valuation Roll, that lower figure is to be substituted Minter Ellison Ref: NH 20-7134210 Consolidated Trust Deed for the State Super Investment Fund page 30
in the Valuation Roll and the lower figure is to be used to calculate the Net Asset Value of the Trust. Net Asset Value of the Trusts 14.6 The Trustee may calculate the Net Asset Value of the Trust in respect of each of the Trusts at any time in its absolute discretion but must do so not less frequently than once in each week. Valuation principles 14.7 The value of any property will be its market value determined, at the discretion of the Trustee, by one of the following methods: (c) by reference to a recognised independent source; by a method determined by a qualified valuer appointed and instructed by the Trustee; or by a qualified valuer appointed and instructed by the Trustee, unless the Trustee decides to adopt some other method as appropriate to determine current market value including estimates of market value where actual figures are not available and the Trustee considers there will be no significant detriment to any Unit Holder. Property acquired must be valued at cost (including acquisition costs) until revalued. The Trustee may cause some or all of the Assets of a Trust to be revalued whenever it sees fit and shall do so from time to time having regard to the nature of the property. 14.8 DELETED Valuations and the Trustee 14.9 Nothing in this deed shall be deemed to imply that the Trustee is or is required to be an expert in relation to any matters concerning the valuation of Assets. 15. Auditor Appointment 15.1 The first Auditor in relation to each Trust listed in clause 2.6 shall be the Auditor General of New South Wales. If the Auditor General of New South Wales ceases to be the Auditor of a Trust the Trustee must appoint an Auditor of that Trust who must be a registered company auditor for the purposes of the Corporations Act or a firm of auditors at least one member of which is a registered company auditor ordinarily resident in New South Wales. The Auditor is to hold office subject to the provisions of this clause 15. Remuneration 15.2 The Auditor's remuneration is to be determined by the Trustee. Removal 15.3 The Trustee may remove the Auditor of a Trust at any time. 15.4 If the Auditor of a Trust is requested to retire by Special Resolution of the Unit Holders of that Trust then the Trustee must, by notice in writing to the Auditor, remove the Auditor from office. The Trustee must appoint the qualified person or firm approved by special resolution of Unit Holders (if any) to be the Auditor of the Trust or, in the absence of any such approval, the qualified person or firm nominated by the Trustee.

(d) (e) the date on which any person ceased to be a Unit Holder; and any other matter determined by the Trustee. The Trustee may engage any individual or corporation whose ordinary business is or includes the maintenance of share and similar registers to maintain the Register. The engagement of an individual or corporation does not relieve the Trustee from its obligations under the Corporations Act and this deed and the Trustee at all times remains liable for keeping and maintaining the Register. Correctness of Register 17.3 The Trustee is not liable for any mistake in the Register except to the extent that the mistake is attributable to the Trustee's own negligent act or default. Notification of change by Unit Holders 17.4 Any change of name or address on the part of any Unit Holder must promptly be notified by that Unit Holder to the Trustee who must alter the Register as soon as practically possible. Inspection 17.5 A Unit Holder who wishes to inspect only that part of the Register that provides particulars of that Unit Holder's Holding is entitled to inspect the relevant part of the Register by arrangement with the Trustee. 17.6 DELETED 17.7 DELETED Non-recognition of equitable interests 17.8 Except as otherwise provided and subject to the Corporations Act, the Trustee may treat the registered holder of a Unit as the absolute owner of it.

Costs of removal 17.9 The Unit Holder must bear any cost which results from the removal of a Unit Holder from one Register to another Register. Closure of the Register 17.10 The Trustee from time to time may close a Register but no part of a Register may be closed for more than 30 days in total in any calendar year. 18.

There must be entered on any separate Register those details considered necessary by the Trustee or required by the Corporations Act to be included in a Register of Unit Holders. Designation 18.2 Every separate Register must, in the case of a Register established in Australia, be designated the Branch Register for the capital city of the State or Territory in respect of which it is established and, in the case of a Register established outside Australia, be designated the Branch Register for Minter Ellison Ref: NH 20-7134210 Consolidated Trust Deed for the State Super Investment Fund page 33
the place in respect of which it is established. The provisions of clause 18 apply to a Branch Register. Application of provisions 18.3 Except where it is otherwise expressly stated every reference in this deed to 'the Register' of a Trust includes every Branch Register in respect of that Trust. Applicable law 18.4 In the case of Units which are registered on a Branch Register, the rights, liabilities and obligations of the Trustee and the Unit Holders of those Units are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction specified in clause 35. 19. Transfer and transmission of Units Transfer of Units 19.1 A transfer of a Unit must be: (c) (d) in writing; in the form determined by the Trustee; executed by both the transferor and the transferee; and duly stamped and delivered to the Trustee. A transferee becomes the new proprietor of a Unit when particulars of the transfer are entered in the Register. Refusal of registration 19.2 The Trustee, in its sole discretion and without giving a reason, may refuse to register a transfer of a Unit. If the Trustee refuses to register a transfer it must within one month of the date of receipt of the transfer by the Trustee send to the transferor and the transferee a notice advising of the refusal. Cancellation and issue of Certificates 19.3 When a transfer is entered in the Register the Trustee must cancel the Certificate (if any) relating to the Units transferred and, subject to clause 6.1, issue a new Certificate in the name of the transferee or otherwise provide acknowledgment to the transferee in writing that the transfer has been registered. Persons entitled on transmission 19.4 If a Unit Holder dies, the Trustee will only recognise the survivor or survivors (where the deceased was a joint holder) or the executors or administrators (in all other cases) as having any title to the Units registered in the name of the deceased. Registration of transmission 19.5 A person who becomes entitled to a Unit (and gives evidence of that entitlement to the Trustee in a form satisfactory to the Trustee) because of the death, bankruptcy, insanity or other disability of a Unit Holder is entitled to be registered as the holder of the Unit or to nominate some other person to be registered as the holder of the Unit. Notice of election 19.6 To effect a registration under clause 19.5 the person must give a written notice to the Trustee requesting the registration. If the Unit is to be registered in the name of a nominee of the person, Minter Ellison Ref: NH 20-7134210 Consolidated Trust Deed for the State Super Investment Fund page 34

Lodgment of securities 20.13 If as a result of an official directive (whether or not having the force of law, but if not, compliance with which is in accordance with the practice of responsible trustees) law or regulation the Trustee is required to lodge on its own account deposits, securities or bonds for the protection of Unit Holders in a Trust then the Trustee must do so from its own resources. It may not make a claim on the Trust Fund of the relevant Trust for this purpose. 20.14 If the Trustee elects not to comply with an obligation it has which is referred to in clause 20.13 then it may retire as Trustee or terminate the Trust in accordance with this deed. 20.15 DELETED Signatures 20.16 The Trustee is entitled to rely on the validity of any signature on any transfer, form or application or other instrument or document unless the Trustee has reason to believe that the signature is not genuine.

Notice must be given to every Unit Minter Ellison Ref: NH 20-7134210 Consolidated Trust Deed for the State Super Investment Fund page 43
Holder having the right to attend and vote at the meeting, but the accidental omission to give notice to or the non-receipt of notice by a Unit Holder does not invalidate the meeting. Requirements of notice 26.6 A notice of meeting of Unit Holders must specify the place, the day and the hour of the meeting and must state the general nature of the business to be transacted at the meeting, but need not set out the terms of any resolution to be proposed. Quorum 26.7 No business may be transacted at a meeting unless a quorum of Unit Holders is present at the time when the meeting commences and Unit Holders holding or representing by proxy not less than 10% of the Units in Issue in the Trust constitute a quorum. Absence of quorum 26.8 If a quorum is not present within 15 minutes from the time appointed for a meeting: the meeting will stand adjourned to a day and at a time and place determined by the Trustee or, if no determination is made by the Trustee, to the same day in the next week at the same time and place; and at the adjourned meeting 50 Unit Holders will constitute a quorum and if 50 Unit Holders are not present within 15 minutes from the time appointed for the meeting the meeting will be dissolved. Chairman 26.9 At any meeting of Unit Holders a person (who may but need not be a Unit Holder) nominated by the Trustee will chair the meeting. If the Trustee does not make a nomination or if the nominated person is not present within 15 minutes from the time appointed for the meeting or is unwilling or unable to act, the Unit Holders present must elect one of their number to chair the meeting. Attendance at meetings 26.10 The Trustee and its financial and legal advisers are entitled to attend and speak at any meeting of Unit Holders. Adjournment 26.11 The Chairman, with the consent of any meeting at which a quorum is present may, and must, if so directed by the meeting, adjourn the meeting from time to time and from place to place. No business may be transacted at any adjourned meeting except business which might lawfully have been transacted at the meeting from which the adjournment took place. If a meeting is adjourned for 30 days or more, notice of the adjourned meeting must be given in the same manner as for the original meeting. Otherwise, it is not necessary to give notice of an adjourned meeting or the business to be transacted at it. Resolutions 26.12 At any meeting a resolution put to the vote of the meeting will be decided on a show of hands unless: a poll is demanded before the vote is put to a show of hands or on the declaration of the result of the show of hands by the Chairman or by Unit Holders holding or representing by proxy not less than 10% of the Units in Issue in the Trust or 20,000 Units in the Trust: or it is required by this deed or by law that the question be decided by a percentage of the Units in Issue of the Trust. Minter Ellison Ref: NH 20-7134210 Consolidated Trust Deed for the State Super Investment Fund page 44
26.13 Unless a poll is demanded or required, a declaration by the Chairman that a resolution has been carried, or carried by a particular majority, or lost, or not carried by a particular majority or an entry to that effect in the minutes of the meeting is conclusive evidence of the fact without proof of the number or proportion of votes recorded in favour of or against the resolution. If a poll is validly demanded, it must be taken in the manner which the Chairman directs (except that a poll on the election of a Chairman or on a question of adjournment must be taken immediately). The demand or requirement for a poll does not prevent the continuance of a meeting for the transaction of any business other than the question on which the poll is demanded or required. The demand for a poll may be withdrawn. Voting 26.14 On a show of hands every Unit Holder who (being an individual) is present in person or by proxy or (being a Company) is present by its duly authorised representative or proxy has one vote. On a poll, votes may be given personally or by proxy and every Unit Holder who is present in person or by duly authorised representative or by proxy has one vote for each Unit held. A Unit Holder entitled to more than one vote need not cast all votes to which the Unit Holder is entitled in the same way. Casting vote 26.15 If votes are equal, whether on a show of hands or on a poll, the Chairman of the meeting at which the show of hands takes place or at which the poll is demanded or required has a casting vote in addition to the vote or votes (if any) to which the Chairman is entitled as a Unit Holder. Joint Unit Holders 26.16 In the case of joint Unit Holders, the vote of the senior who casts a vote, whether in person or by proxy, must be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other joint holders. For this purpose, seniority is determined by the order in which the names are entered in the Register. Proxies 26.17 A Unit Holder may attend and vote at any meeting of Unit Holders and may appoint another person (who need not be a Unit Holder) as proxy to attend and vote. A proxy has the same rights as the Unit Holder to vote whether on a poll or on a show of hands, to speak and to be counted in a quorum. Every instrument appointing a proxy must be in writing under the hand of the appointor or of the appointor's attorney duly authorised in writing or, if the appointor is a Corporation, trader its common seal, or under the hand of an officer of the Corporation who is duly authorised. Where an instrument of proxy has been signed by an officer on behalf of a Corporation it may be assumed, unless the contrary appears, that the officer was duly authorised to sign the instrument on behalf of the Corporation. Instrument appointing proxy 26.18 The instrument appointing a proxy and the power of attorney or other authority (if any) under which it is signed or a notarially certified copy of the power or authority must be deposited at the place or places as the Trustee specifies either in the notice convening the meeting or an instrument of proxy sent by the Trustee in relation to the meeting. If no place is specified then those instruments must be deposited at the registered office of the Trustee. The instruments must be deposited at least 48 hours before the time appointed for the meeting or adjourned meeting at which the person named in the instrument proposes to vote. If this is not done the instrument of proxy will be treated as invalid. No instrument appointing a proxy will be valid after the expiration of 12 Months from the time of its execution. Minter Ellison Ref: NH 20-7134210 Consolidated Trust Deed for the State Super Investment Fund page 45
Form of instrument of proxy 26.19 An instrument of proxy must be in the following form or in any other form determined by the Trustee: 'I, being a Unit Holder of Units in [name of Trust] hereby appoint of as my proxy to vote for me and on my behalf at the meeting of Unit Holders to be held on the day of 20 and at any adjournment of that meeting. I direct my proxy to vote for/against the proposed resolution (in the absence of direction the proxy may vote as the proxy thinks fit or abstain from voting)....... Signature of Unit Holder Date' A proxy may demand or join in demanding a poll. The rights of a proxy extend to any adjournment of the meeting in respect of which the proxy is appointed unless the instrument appointing the proxy provides otherwise. The instrument appointing a proxy need not be witnessed. Validity of proxy 26.20 A vote given in accordance with the terms of an instrument of proxy is valid notwithstanding the previous death or insanity of the donor or the revocation of the proxy or the revocation of the authority under which the proxy was executed, provided that no intimation in writing of the death, insanity or revocation is received by the Trustee at its registered office before the commencement of the meeting or adjourned meeting or the taking of the poll at which the proxy is used. Representatives 26.21 A Corporation which is a Unit Holder, by resolution of its directors or other governing body, may authorise any person to act as its representative at any meeting of the Unit Holders. The representative may exercise the same powers on behalf of the Corporation as if the representative were the registered holder of the relevant Units. 26.22 Subject to clause 29 and the Corporations Act, the Unit Holders of a Trust may, by Special Resolution: (c) (d) sanction any modification, compromise or arrangement in respect of or sanction the abrogation or release of the rights of the Unit Holders proposed by the Trustee, whether the rights arise under this deed or otherwise; authorise the Trustee to concur in and execute any supplemental deed embodying anything referred to in paragraph ; give any sanction, approval, direction or request which under this deed is required or permitted to be given by Special Resolution; and discharge or exonerate the Trustee for all liability in respect of any act or omission for which it may have become responsible under this deed. All resolutions binding 26.23 A valid resolution of Unit Holders of a Trust is binding upon all the Unit Holders of that Trust whether or not present at the meeting or, in the case of a resolution in writing, whether or not voting on that resolution. Minter Ellison Ref: NH 20-7134210 Consolidated Trust Deed for the State Super Investment Fund page 46
Minutes 26.24 Minutes of all resolutions and proceedings at every meeting of Unit Holders must be made. The minutes must be entered in books provided by the Trustee. A minute, if it is purportedly signed by the Chairman of the meeting at which the resolution was passed or proceedings held or by the Chairman of the next succeeding meeting is conclusive evidence of the matters stated in it. Until the contrary is proved, every meeting in respect of which minutes have been made is deemed to have been duly held and convened and all resolutions passed or proceedings held at the meeting are deemed to have been duly passed and held. Other types of Units 26.25 Clause 26 applies also, to the extent appropriate, to meetings of Unit Holders of any type or class of Unit. 27. Notices Notices to Unit Holders 27.1 Any notice required to be given to a Unit Holder of a Trust under this deed is deemed to have been duly given if given in writing to the Unit Holder by letter addressed to the Unit Holder at the Unit Holder' s address appearing in the Register. In the case of joint holders a notice given to that joint holder whose name stands first in the Register is sufficient notice to all joint unit holders. Any notice given by post is deemed to have been served on the third day following the day when it was posted and in proving service it is sufficient to prove that the letter containing the notice was properly addressed and posted and a statement signed by the Trustee that it was posted and when is conclusive as to those facts unless the contrary is proved. Notices to Trustee 27.2 DELETED 27.3 DELETED 27.4 A letter, telex or facsimile is taken to be received: (c) in the case of a letter, on the third (seventh, if outside Australia) day after posting; and in the case of a telex, on receipt by the sender of the answerback code of the addressee after transmission of the telex; and in the case of a facsimile, on production of a transmission report by the machine from which the facsimile was sent which indicates that the facsimile was sent in its entirety to the facsimile number of the recipient. 28.

The Trustee shall not be liable for non-receipt of any payment by a Unit Holder if the Trustee has despatched payment in accordance with this clause 28.1 Satisfaction and discharge 28.2 Payment of every cheque, if duly presented and paid, will be a satisfaction of the money payable and a good discharge to the Trustee. 29. Amendment to Trust Deed Supplemental Deed of Variation 29.1 Subject to any approval required by law and clause 29.2, the Trustee by deed may amend, add to or revoke any provision of this deed (including this clause and a Schedule) if the amendment, addition or revocation: (c) (d) (e) (f) (g) in the opinion of the Trustee or of a barrister or solicitor instructed by the Trustee is necessary or expedient to comply with the provisions of any statute, ordinance, regulation or by-law or with the requirement of any statutory authority; or in the opinion of the Trustee is made to correct a manifest error or is of a formal, technical or administrative nature only; or in the opinion of the Trustee is required by or in consequence of or is consistent with any amendment to the Corporations Act; or in the opinion of the Trustee is not prejudicial or likely to become prejudicial to the interests of the Unit Holders; or is to amend clause 25 provided that the Trustee is satisfied that owing to changed economic circumstances any increase proposed is reasonable and that any increase will only take effect after 30 days notice to the Unit Holders of the Trust or after the withdrawal of a Disclosure Document which is in issue at the time of execution of the relevant supplemental deed (unless the amendment is described in the Disclosure Document) whichever time is the later; or in the opinion of the Trustee will enable the provisions of this deed to be more conveniently or advantageously administered; or is approved by a special resolution of Unit Holders of each Trust affected by the proposed amendment. Minter Ellison Ref: NH 20-7134210 Consolidated Trust Deed for the State Super Investment Fund page 48
29.2 The Trustee covenants that it will not amend this deed without the approval of Unit Holders holding 50% or more of the value of Units in Issue of each Trust affected by the proposed amendment given at a meeting convened in accordance with this deed unless the Trustee reasonably believes the amendment would not adversely affect the rights of Unit Holders of the relevant Trust under the deed. Amendment of Trust Deed to comply with statutory requirements 29.3 The Trustee must take all reasonable steps to cause this deed to be amended from time to time to satisfy the requirements of any statute, ordinance, rule, regulation or by-law or the requirements of any statutory authority. If the Trustee is of the opinion that as a result of these requirements the Assets of the Trust Fund of any Trust or any part of it are to be invested or deposited otherwise than freely in accordance with the discretions given to the Trustee by this deed or if as a result of any law it appears to the Trustee to be in the interest of the Unit Holders of the Trust so to do, the Trustee may terminate the Trust in accordance with this deed. Supplemental Deeds constituting further trusts 29.4 A Supplemental Deed executed pursuant to clause 2.7 to establish a new trust is not to be regarded as a variation of this Deed for the purposes of this clause 29. 30.

Inspection of Deed A copy of this deed, together with all amendments, must at all times during usual business hours be made available by the Trustee at its office in Sydney for inspection by Unit Holders. 33.

A Unit Holder, by reason alone of being a Unit Holder or by reason alone of the relationship created under this deed with the Trustee, is not under any obligation personally to indemnify the Trustee or any creditor of the Trustee if there is a deficiency of Assets of the Trust Fund of a Trust as compared with liabilities. The right (if any) of the Trustee or of a creditor to seek indemnity is limited to having recourse to the Trust Fund. 34.2 Subject to any separate agreement referred to in clause 33, the Trustee covenants, with the intent that the benefit of this covenant enures to the Unit Holders of each Trust jointly and to each of them severally not to make any claim upon, and not take any action or legal proceedings against, any Unit Holder (in that person's capacity as a Unit Holder) if there is a deficiency referred to in clause 34.1.
