Subsection: 7.3

Page: 4

Replace the existing section with the following:

As a consequence of an early repayment event, such as an early repayment by you, we may incur additional costs or loss. These costs or losses arise due to changes between the cost of funds when you started the fixed term rate of your loan and the costs of funds at the time of an early repayment event. Generally if the costs of funds are lower at the time of early repayment, we incur a cost or loss.

In calculating the amount of any early repayment cost that is payable by you, we will use the calculation methodology described in clause 8. The early repayment cost is intended to reflect a reasonable estimate of this additional cost or loss. Although the early repayment event which occurs under your agreement is used in the calculations, the early repayment cost may not necessarily represent the actual cost or loss that is in fact incurred by us in relation to your particular loan. This is because we manage our risk associated with various loans and transactions on a portfolio basis.

  • the change has a positive or neutral effect on your obligations; or
  • providing a shorter notice period is necessary for us to:
  • avoid or reduce a material increase in our credit risk or loss; or
  • comply with legal or regulatory requirements.

We may give you notice of the change by any notification method allowed by these terms and conditions or by advertisement in a national newspaper or in two or more major metropolitan newspapers that in combination circulate generally in each State and Territory of Australia.

I  must pay the Credit Provider, after being provided at least 30 days’ notice, the reasonable amount which is necessary to compensate the Credit Provider for the increase in cost or reduction in rate.

The Credit Provider cannot claim for a cost incurred or a reduction suffered more than 90 days before the Credit Provider gave me notice, except to the extent that the change in government requirements is retrospective.

If I do not accept the amount payable to the Credit Provider, I may terminate this Lease by giving written notice to the Credit Provider and complying with my obligation on termination under clause 9.

If you wish to prepay part or all of the Termination Amount, you should discuss it with the Credit Provider first and the Credit Provider can calculate the costs or losses that you would have to pay if you made the prepayment.
