m) When coins come and you can see it in your wallet - send 5000 QNO exactly to address labeled as "masternode"
(exactly 5000 coins, don't try to send coins from exchange to "masternode" address directly. You will unable to send exactly 5000 from exchange).

masternodeprivkey - You got it from step #2-e
collateral_output_txid - first part of masternode outputs. You got it from step #3-p
collateral_output_index - second part of masternode outputs (usually 1 or 0). You got it from step #3-p
Ex: Masternodename IP:port masternodeprivkey collateral_output_txid collateral_output_index
