Welcome This course has been developed by Property Exchange Australia Limited (PEXA) and is designed to provide you with an understanding of how to use PEXA to perform key e-conveyancing transactions using the PEXA System. Learning Objectives At the completion of this course, you will be able to: Access PEXA training and support via the PEXA Help Centre. Explain PEXA key concepts and terminology. Login and navigate around PEXA. Complete a transfer. Create and withdraw a caveat. Learning Method This course provides you with an opportunity to perform key e-conveyancing transactions using the PEXA System. In this session, you will have the opportunity to discuss key concepts, see demonstrations, practice completing transactions using the PEXA training environment and locate support materials. 5 Page

Introducing PEXA Learning Objectives By the end of this session, you will be able to: Explain what PEXA is and does. Explain the benefits of PEXA to all parties involved in property transactions. Explain your compliance obligations imposed by ARNECC. Explain the technology requirements to use PEXA. 6 Page

What is PEXA? The PEXA System is the world s first online lodgement and Financial Settlement platform that is powered by Property Exchange Australia Limited (PEXA). PEXA facilitates the exchange of property through the ability to perform lodgements and financial property settlements online in a simple transaction. Like the ASX did for the exchange of shares, PEXA will remove the manual processes and paperwork associated with the exchange of property by allowing Land Registries, Financial Institutions and Practitioners to transact together, online. PEXA delivers significant time and cost efficiencies to the conveyancing industry by reducing the time spent preparing documents and removing the need to physically attend settlement. Automated processes, pre-population of data and real-time visibility means greater certainty for all parties involved in property transactions. How does PEXA work? The PEXA System provides an online secure meeting room (Workspace) which allows each participant in a PEXA transaction to interact. Each participant enters the Workspace in a defined role (e.g. Incoming Proprietor) and performs the key activities associated with that role. The Land Registry provides a direct data stream into the PEXA Workspace, populating the PEXA Workspace with validated land title data as a transaction is progressed. Documents are created within the Workspace, Signed and lodged with the relevant Land Registry. Fees are charged on completion of a successful transaction. 7 Page

As you can see from the diagram above, the PEXA System (which includes the Electronic Lodgment Network) sends messages to, and extracts information from, the Land Registry and Office of State Revenue at regular intervals. This enables you to feel confident that PEXA will inform you of any changes to a land title which is in your PEXA Workspace. Users are Representative Subscribers (conveyancers and solicitors) and Principal Subscribers. Representative Subscribers act on behalf of others in the PEXA System. Principal Subscribers act for themselves and can be any business who meets the eligibility requirements. Currently these include Financial Institutions and government bodies. Compliance Requirements Before you begin using PEXA, please refer to the Model Participation Rules to ensure that you are aware of, and fully comply with, the Model Participation Rules. This applies to all participants transacting in PEXA. Your compliance requirements include, but are not limited to, completing Verification of Identify (VOI) on all clients and ensuring that they sign a Client Authorisation Form provided by ARNECC (our regulator) prior to using the PEXA System. The Model Participation Rules and the Client Authorisation form can be located on the ARNECC website at http://www.arnecc.gov.au 8 Page

Technology Requirements Please review the following Technology Requirements to ensure that your system specifications meet the standard operating environment required to provide effective access to PEXA. Please refer to our website for the latest version: https://www.pexa.com.au/soe 9 Page

Access and Navigation Learning Objectives By the end of this session, you will be able to: Login to PEXA. Navigate PEXA. Access PEXA training and support via the PEXA Help Centre. 10 Page

PEXA Foundations Learning Objectives By the end of this session, you will be able to: Explain PEXA concepts (Workgroups, Representative Roles and Workspaces). Explain other key terms and concepts relevant to online property transactions. 13 Page

PEXA Representative Role Whenever you begin a transaction in PEXA, you are participating in a particular role. You may nominate the role yourself or you may be allocated the role as part of an invitation into a Workspace. It is also possible to act in multiple roles within a Workspace. For more information, refer to Acting in Multiple PEXA Roles. A role in the Workspace determines: The tasks that a User can perform in the PEXA Workspace, based on their designated signing rights; The documents that can be created; and The fees that will apply. From your learnings in this training course, write down the descriptions of each role in the table below. PEXA Representative PEXA Representative Role Description Roles Incoming Mortgagee Mortgagee on Title Incoming Proprietor Proprietor on Title Incoming Caveator Caveator on Title 14 Page

Workspaces As you can see from the diagram below, a Workspace is a secure meeting room created for each of your property transactions. It is the centre of all PEXA activities allowing you to work together and communicate with other participants within this secure space. After 120 days of inactivity in a Workspace, PEXA gives you a grace period of 14 days to access the Workspace before it automatically archives it. 15 Page

Workspace Status The Workspace Status Indicator is displayed at the top of the PEXA Workspace Summary screen and helps you quickly identify where in the process the Workspace resides. As a Workspace progresses, from creation through to document preparation, to settlement and lodgement, the status will change. The diagram below shows a visual representation of each stage of the Workspace Status. Note: Workspaces can be modified at any stage before scheduled settlement. Once the Workspace is Locked, Subscribers are unable to modify anything in the Workspace. 16 Page

Workspaces that include Financial Settlement If a Workspace includes Financial Settlement, a Financial Settlement Status Indicator also displays. The PEXA Financial Settlement Status Indicator is located within Workspace Summary. Workgroups Workgroups are like your own personal filing cabinet. If you have the key, you can access the information in your group. Workgroups are teams of Users (or a single individual) assigned tasks to complete in PEXA. There can be one or more PEXA Users per Workgroup. Workgroups are created and assigned by the Subscriber Administrator and PEXA will always default to your Workgroup. You will rarely have to select your Workgroup unless you are part of more than one. 17 Page

Complete these descriptions as you progress through this training course. Key Concepts/Terminology Description A Workspace is a secure meeting room created for each of your PEXA transactions. You should create a new Workspace for every new property transaction. Electronic version of a Land Title. This is a unique identifier created by the appropriate land registry at time of lodgement, and is displayed in PEXA on the Land Titles screen. 18 Page

Key Concepts/Terminology Description This search help identify whether a specific title is eligible for electronic lodgement. Workgroups are teams of users or Workspaces. You are required to complete a Verification of Identity (VOI) on all clients you represent in PEXA. This allows the Subscriber to act on their clients behalf in PEXA. Subscribers must enter into a Client Authorisation with its Client before the Subscriber Digitally Signs any Document in the ELN, except for Caveats and Priority/ Settlement Notices. 19 Page

Transfers Learning Objectives By the end of this session, you will be able to: Determine when to complete a transfer. Identify roles within the transfer process. Identify time frames for specific tasks. Understand the two party transfer process. Complete a two party transfer. 20 Page

When is a Transfer Created? A transfer of title is facilitated via a transfer document. This document is a Land Registry document, which, when lodged and registered, transfers the proprietorship of a title from one party (Transferors) to another (Transferees). Transfer Roles There are a number of PEXA Roles involved in a transfer. These are represented in the diagrams below. This training course will focus on the Proprietor on Title and Incoming Proprietor roles in a two party transfer. 21 Page

Enter Duty information into PEXA In PEXA, all Transfer documents must have stamp duty self-determined and confirmed in RevNet at the time of lodgement. PEXA has an automated stamp duty verification process that communicates with RevenueSA, sending details from your workspace to the online duties system (RevNet) for verification. On successful verification, RevNet responds with the stamp duty information required for lodgement and the payment of stamp duty. In SA, your responsibility is to obtain a RevNet ID through the process of completing a duty self-determination of stamp duty in RevNet. You then enter the RevNet ID number in PEXA on the Stamp Duty screen. Note: Please refer to the introductory details on RevNet located on the RevenueSA website.

Once the funds are disbursed to the Practitioner s duty disbursement account then the Practitioner will pay stamp duty as part of the normal RevNet process.

On Saving you will be taken back to the financial Settlement Schedule. Notice that the financial Line Item is now displayed. You can edit or remove a Line Item at any time before settlement. If the FSS has been Signed by any party it will be automatically Unsigned. In this case, communicate via PEXA Conversations ASAP. PEXA will also send an email notification that the FSS has been Unsigned. 47 Page

About Underlying Account Details (source funds) and Final Account Details (destination funds) Underlying Account Details are for informational purposes. For example, if the source Financial Institution is providing loan funds and they want to record the actual loan account that the funds are coming from. This will appear on their settlement reports. This information does not drive any functionality in PEXA. It will appear in the financial Line Item details. Final Account Details are similar to Underlying Account Details. If a Financial Institution or practitioner is disbursing all funds to a single account they can then enter a final account which shows the actual account that funds are to be disbursed to after settlement; (this would be a manual movement external to PEXA). This will appear in settlement reports and against the financial Line Item. This information does not drive any functionality in PEXA. It is for informational purposes only and will appear as a financial Line Item detail. 48 Page

Verify and Authorise the Source Funds For source funds, where a trust account is used, you need to Verify that the funds are in the trust account and will continue to be in the trust account at settlement. A Payment Authoriser must Authorise the Financial Institution to draw these funds from the trust account at settlement. This must be done before you Sign the FSS. To do this: select Verify Funds from the Actions cog for that Line Item. Once Verified: select Authorise Funds to Authorise the FI to withdraw funds from the trust account. Note: Authorise Funds will bring up the Signing screen so it s best to Authorise the Financial Settlement schedule at the end of the process, when you complete all Signings. Note: The source Line Item status will not move to Ready status unless funds have been Verified and Authorised. Workspace Summary Screen At this point, both the Workspace Status and the Financial Settlement Status should be at Ready and settlement will proceed at the settlement time and date as planned. Note: If the Workspace Summary shows a Prepared or In Preparation status, then you will need to troubleshoot and amend the problem to move the Workspace to Ready. Amendments may result in Unsigning of documents or the FSS therefore you may need to re-sign them. 49 Page

Sign the FSS To Sign the FSS Select Sign from the Actions cog at the top right side of the screen as shown below. Remember that any changes made to the FSS by another party may automatically Unsign it and you will need to re-sign. For example any Third Party Beneficiary Line Items entered by the other party will Unsign the FSS as this type of Line Items needs to be viewed and Signed by all parties. Financial Settlement Options There are a number of additional settlement functions you can perform in PEXA. These are available in the FSS, as shown in the screen below. Stop Settlement This will Stop Settlement by Unsigning the FSS for all Subscribers in the Financial Settlement. The Settlement Date and Time will also be removed from the Workspace. You are required to enter in a reason for all participants in this Workspace to be notified. You can reset the Settlement Date and Time but it will need to be Signed by all participants again. 50 Page

Maintain Settlement Values This selection is optional and used for informational purposes only. Practitioners can enter information not included in the FSS such as deposit amounts and the total adjustment amount. Change Settlement Date Change the settlement date and time here. If the settlement date changes, the FSS will automatically Unsign and a notification email will be sent to alert all participants in the Workspace that a change has been made and that they need to review the change before resigning it. A change in the settlement time will not Unsign the settlement schedule. Override Lodgement On rare occasions there may be a technical fault / loss of connection between PEXA and the Land Registry. This function gives participants the option to agree to continue with the Financial Settlement despite lodgement failing with the Land Registry. PEXA will continue to attempt lodgement with the Land Registry until successful. Be aware that all parties providing source funds, must agree to this and will need to re-sign the FSS. 51 Page
