                                                                          Page 8

2.   FINANCE LEASE

2.1       To lease an item of Equipment under this Agreement the Lessee must
          deliver to Volvo Finance an Offer signed by the Lessee. An Offer when
          delivered is an irrevocable offer to lease the Equipment on the terms
          and conditions of the Offer and this Agreement. Volvo Finance may
          accept or decline an Offer at its absolute discretion and may make any
          acceptance dependent on the Lessee satisfying stated conditions. Volvo
          Finance accepts an Offer if it signs the Offer. That acceptance is
          effective without a notice to the Lessee.

          By its acceptance of the Offer, Volvo Finance agrees to lease the
          Equipment to the Lessee and the Lessee agrees to take the Equipment on
          lease from Volvo Finance in accordance with its Lease Agreement.

2.2       Neither this Agreement nor a Lease Agreement binds Volvo Finance until
          it has been executed by Volvo Finance. This clause is not affected or
          prejudiced by reason of any prepayment of money by the Lessee or the
          delivery by Volvo Finance of the Equipment to the Lessee. If Volvo
          Finance delivers the Equipment to the Lessee before it has executed
          its Lease Agreement the Lessee must, from the Commencement Date,
          except as to the payment of Lease installments, perform and observe
          its obligations under that Lease Agreement.

2.3       Volvo Finance may at any time assign or otherwise dispose of or deal
          with its rights under this Agreement or a Lease Agreement but, if it
          does any of those things, it must do so subject to the Lessee's rights
          under this Agreement or that Lease Agreement. The Lessee may not,
          without the consent of Volvo Finance, create or allow to exist a
          Security Interest over or an interest in this Agreement or a Lease
          Agreement or assign or otherwise dispose of or deal with its rights
          under this Agreement or a Lease Agreement.

2.4       The Lessee acknowledges that Volvo Finance may enter into this
          Agreement or a Lease Agreement as a principal or an agent.

3.   LEASE INSTALLMENTS

3.1       If Volvo Finance delivers the Equipment to the Lessee before Volvo
          Finance has executed its Lease Agreement, the Lessee agrees to pay
          Volvo Finance a daily rent equal to one thirtieth of the First Lease
          Installment commencing on the date of that delivery and concluding on
          the day immediately prior to the day on which Volvo Finance executes
          that Lease Agreement. Volvo Finance will, if it executes the Lease
          Agreement, apply the interim rent in reduction of the Total Lease
          installments payable under that Lease Agreement.

3.2       Subject as provided in the Lease Agreement the Lessee must pay to
          Volvo Finance the Lease installments at the time and in the manner
          specified in item 5 of the Schedule.

3.3       The Lessee's obligation to pay an amount due under a Lease Agreement
          is absolute and unconditional. The Lessee may not for any reason
          withhold, or make a deduction from, the whole or any part of any Lease
          Installment or other money payable under a Lease Agreement including,
          without limitation, because:

          (a)  the Equipment is defective, damaged, does not operate or is not
               in the Lessee's possession; or

          (b)  the Lessee claims to have a set-off, counter-claim, defence or
               other right against Volvo Finance or anyone else.

3.4       The Lessee must make payments to Volvo Finance under each Lease
          Agreement:

          (a)  at a place and in a manner reasonably required by Volvo Finance;

          (b)  in immediately available funds by 11.00 a.m. local time in the
               place where payment is to be made.

3.5       If the Lessee is required by law to deduct or withhold Taxes from any
          payment it shall:

          (a)  make the required deductions and withholdings:

          (b)  pay in accordance with the relevant law the full amount deducted
               or withheld;

<Page>

                                                                         Page 10

          (c)  deliver to Volvo Finance the receipt for each payment; and

          (d)  increase the amount of the payment to Volvo Finance to an amount
               which will result in the receipt by Volvo Finance of the full
               amount which would have been payable to Volvo Finance if no
               deduction or withholding had been required.

3.6       The Lessee must, if required by Volvo Finance, sign an order upon the
          Lessee's bankers directing the payment of all money payable under a
          Lease Agreement from time to time by debiting the Lessee's bank
          account and crediting Volvo Finance's account at the bank nominated by
          Volvo Finance.

3.7       The Lessee agrees to pay interest to Volvo Finance on any amount
          payable by the Lessee under a Lease Agreement from when it becomes due
          for payment, during the period that it remains unpaid, on demand, or
          at times determined by Volvo Finance, calculated on daily balances.
          The rate to be applied to each daily balance is the rate being 2%
          above the interest rate which is implicit in that Lease Agreement
          (expressed as a percentage rate per annum).

3.8       Interest which is not paid when due for payment may be capitalised by
          Volvo Finance at intervals which Volvo Finance determines from time to
          time or, if no determination is made, then on the first day of each
          month. Interest is payable on capitalised interest at the rate and in
          the manner referred to in clause 3.7.

3.9       The Lessee's obligation to pay the outstanding amount on the date it
          becomes due for payment is not affected by clauses 3.7 and 3.8.

3.10      If a liability under a Lease Agreement becomes merged in a judgment or
          order, then the Lessee agrees to pay interest to Volvo Finance on the
          amount of that liability as an independent obligation. This interest
          accrues from the date the liability becomes due for payment both
          before and after the judgment or order until it is paid, at a rate
          that is the higher of the rate payable under the judgment or order and
          the rate referred to in clause 3.7.

4.   DELIVERY

                                                                         Page 11

          the Equipment.

          (a)  for the Lessee's failure or delay in obtaining, delivering or
               installing the Equipment or putting it in good working order; or

          (b)  if the wrong Equipment is delivered,

          unless the matter is caused by Volvo Finance's wilful and unreasonable
          refusal to pay the supplier for the Equipment or permit the Equipment
          to be delivered.

                       (b)  the Lessee has thoroughly examined the Equipment
                            before signing its Lease Agreement and is alone
                            responsible for satisfying itself at that
                            examination about the Equipment including, without

                       (d)  all credit and financial information concerning the
                            Lessee supplied to Volvo Finance or to any agent,

                            the Lessee to Volvo Finance is true and correct in
                            all respects;

                       (e)  neither Volvo Finance nor any of its Authorised
                            Representatives has given or made any

                            Equipment and nothing contained in this Agreement or
                            the Lease Agreement confers on the Lessee any right
                            or property or interest in or to the Equipment and
                            the Lessee is only a bailee; and

                       (g)  Volvo Finance is not responsible for any
                            representation, promise or statement made in

                            or a Lease Agreement,

5.2       All express and implied terms, conditions and warranties which
          otherwise might apply to, or arise out of, this Agreement or a Lease
          Agreement are excluded other than:

          (a)  as provided in this Agreement or the Lease Agreement;

          warranty described in clause 5.2, Volvo Finance's liabilities, to the
          fullest extent permitted by law, are limited to any one or more of the
          following as Volvo Finance determines in its absolute discretion:

          (a)  replacing or repairing the Equipment;

<Page>

                                                                         Page 13

          and reasonable under any law which cannot lawfully be excluded or
          modified by agreement including, without limitation, under section
          68A(2) and (3) of the Trade Practices Act 1974 (Cwlth).

                            limitation, information showing the financial
                            position of the Lessee, its related corporations and

                            Lease Agreement is found to be materially incorrect
                            or misleading when made or taken to be made;

                       (c)  do everything necessary to ensure that no Event of

                            Event of Default or Potential Event of Default
                            continues unremedied;

<Page>

                                                                         Page 14

                            Event of Default, and the steps taken to remedy it.

6.2       The Lessee must use the care of a cautious and prudent owner to
          prevent damage to the Equipment or its loss or destruction and must
          both as to materials and labour place, keep and maintain the Equipment
          in good working order and repair so that it will at all times during
          the Term be in first class condition for goods of the type that it is
          having regard to the condition in which it was delivered to the
          Lessee, fair wear and tear excepted.

6.3       The Lessee may not pledge Volvo Finance's credit or create any lien
          upon the Equipment in respect of any maintenance, overhaul,
          replacement, repair or modification of the Equipment.

6.4       The Lessee must:

          (a)  use, keep and service and permit the use, keeping and servicing
               of the Equipment only by competent and properly trained and
               qualified (and where necessary licensed) personnel and only by
               recognised and approved methods and standards of operation and
               servicing and only in accordance with the manufacturer's
               instructions and recommendations;

          (b)  arrange for inspection and servicing of the Equipment at such
               periods as are recommended by the manufacturer;

          (c)  in connection with the maintenance and service of the Equipment,
               ensure that only genuine or manufacturer approved parts and

               specifications are used;

          (d)  keep the Equipment in a suitable and safe place in such manner

               manufacturer;

          (e)  use and permit the use of the Equipment only in accordance with
               the normal usage of Equipment of the type that it is having

               manufactured;

<Page>

                                                                         Page 15

          (f)  not use or permit the Equipment to be used or operated in
               violation of the terms of this Agreement or its Lease Agreement
               for any illegal purpose or in any manner or under any
               circumstances which would amount to a breach of any law (whether
               or not such breach is committed by the Lessee) or which in Volvo
               Finance's opinion would be likely to endanger the safety or
               condition of the Equipment;

          (g)  if requested by Volvo Finance at any time during the Term effect
               and keep effected any agreement for the maintenance of the
               Equipment with a qualified and competent person and upon terms
               acceptable to Volvo Finance.

7.   REGISTRATION AND INSURANCE

7.1       The Lessee must register the Equipment and keep the Equipment
          registered during the Term as required by any applicable law of the
          jurisdiction in which the Equipment will normally be garaged or kept
          in the name of the Lessee as if the Lessee were Volvo Finance except
          where the register is a register of ownership or security interests.
          The Lessee may not transfer that registration to another jurisdiction
          without Volvo Finance's consent.

7.2       The Lessee must maintain insurance against:

          (a)  loss, theft or destruction of, or damage to, the Equipment for
               its full replacement value; and

          (b)  public liability for personal injury or property damage arising
               in connection with the Equipment for an amount of $20,000,000.

          (a)  have Volvo Finance's interest as owner of the Equipment noted;
               and

          (b)  be in form and substance, and with an insurance company,
               acceptable to Volvo Finance.

                                                                         Page 16

          (a)  a copy of any insurance policy referred to in clause 7.2 and any
               cover note for that insurance; and

               policies; and

          (c)  details of any claim and payment made pursuant to an insurance
               policy.

          Volvo Finance may in its discretion pay any premium on the Lessee's
          behalf and if it does so the Lessee must repay the amount of that
          premium to Volvo Finance immediately on demand. Nothing contained in
          this clause nor any representation by Volvo Finance relieves the
          Lessee from its obligation to ensure that all premiums payable are
          paid on or before the due date.

7.5       The Lessee may not without Volvo Finance's consent:

          (a)  cancel or vary the insurance;

          (b)  prejudice the insurance so that the insurer could refuse a claim
               or pay an amount less than the amount claimed; or

          (c)  do anything in connection with a claim including, without
               limitation, enforcing, conducting, settling or compromising a
               claim (limited to $100,000 any one claim).

7.6       The proceeds of the insurances must be applied as follows:

          (a)  if a claim is made for loss or damage to the Equipment not
               amounting to a Casualty Occurrence, in accordance with clause
               11.2; and

          (b)  if a claim is made for loss or damage to the Equipment amounting
               to a Casualty Occurrence, in payment of its Termination Value;
               and

          (c)  if a claim is made for third party liabilities, towards
               discharging those liabilities.

7.7       The Lessee must notify Volvo Finance immediately upon the occurrence
          of any event which could or might give rise to a claim under any
          insurance policy effected by the Lessee.

          the Equipment is the property of Volvo Finance, protecting Volvo
          Finance's rights, or exercising Volvo Finance's rights to take
          possession of the Equipment.

          equipment nor alter, obliterate or conceal or permit or suffer to be
          altered, obliterated or concealed any identifying name, number, mark
          or plate appearing on or affixed to the Equipment nor affix any signs
          or other insignias on the Equipment without the consent of Volvo
          Finance and must remove and pay any costs of restoration required as a
          result of such fitting or alteration or affixing signs or other
          insignias.

8.3       The Lessee must comply with all requirements at law and under any
          agreement relating to the Equipment, its possession, use, registration
          and licensing and the use of the premises upon which the Equipment is
          situated and must make all payments necessary to protect the Equipment

8.5       The Lessee must keep the Equipment garaged generally at the address
          specified in item 3 of the Schedule and may not remove it from that
          place except for the purpose of the Lessee's business within the
          Relevant Jurisdiction or remove it or permit it to be removed outside
          the Relevant Jurisdiction without Volvo Finance's consent.

                       given under clauses 12.3(a) or 12.4(a), as the case may
                       be, then the proceeds of sale and the value of ithat item
                       will be deemed to be zero; and

               (b)     a reference to a Lease Installment and the Termination
                       Value excludes any Lease Installment and Termination
                       Value payable for or applicable to (as determined by
                       Volvo Finance) an item of Equipment which at the date of
                       the termination Volvo Finance had not become liable to
                       acquire from its supplier.

13.  RETURN OF EQUIPMENT

13.1
          (a)  On the date on which the last Lease Installment is payable under
               a Lease Agreement (or such other date as is agreed between Volvo
               Finance and the Lessee for that Lease Agreement), the Lessee must
               immediately return the Equipment the subject of that Lease
               Agreement to Volvo Finance:

               (i)     in accordance with the terms and conditions of its Lease
                       Agreement including, without limitation, clauses 6.2, 6.4
                       and 8.6 of this Agreement;

               (ii)    in good working order and repair (fair wear and tear
                       excepted);

               (iii)   at any place in the Relevant Jurisdiction which Volvo
                       Finance directs; and

               (iv)    together with all accompanying materials and documents
                       and the certificate of registration and, if Volvo Finance
                       requests, a signed transfer of that registration
                       certificate to any person Volvo Finance nominates.

          (b)  If the Lessee does not return the Equipment to Volvo Finance in
               accordance with clause 13.1(a):

               (i)     the Lessee must pay to Volvo Finance by way of liquidated
                       damages for detention, for each day that the failure
                       continues, an amount equal to the daily equivalent of the
                       average Lease Installment payable during the Term; and

               (ii)    Volvo Finance may, but without any obligation to do so,
                       repossess the Equipment at any time during that
                       unauthorised detention.

13.2
          (a)  If the Lessee returns the Equipment to Volvo Finance in
               accordance with clause 13.1(a), Volvo Finance will use its best
               endeavours to sell the Equipment by public auction with or
               without reserve or by private treaty or alternatively, in its
               absolute discretion, obtain an independent valuation of that
               Equipment at its fair wholesale

<Page>

                                                                         Page 30

               value. The Lessee must indemnify Volvo Finance for any loss
               following that return, in the amount provided for in clause
               13.2(b).

          (b)  The amount which Volvo Finance may recover as provided in clause
               13.2(a) is:

               (i)     the Residual Value of each item of Equipment on the date
                       of its return;

               (ii)    any arrears of Lease installments;

               (iii)   any other money then due and payable by the Lessee to
                       Volvo Finance under the relevant Lease Agreement,

               less the gross proceeds of sale of each item of Equipment or the
               amount of the valuation, as the case may be, less all costs and
               expenses incurred by Volvo Finance in selling or obtaining a
               valuation of that item.

          (c)  For the purposes of clause 13.2(b) where an item of Equipment;

               (i)     is not sold within one month after first being offered
                       for sale then the proceeds of sale and the value of that
                       item will be deemed to be the wholesale value of that
                       item as determined in good faith by Volvo Finance; or

               (ii)    for any reason does not come into possession of Volvo
                       Finance within one month after the date on which the last
                       Lease Installment is payable under its Lease Agreement
                       (or such other date as is agreed between Volvo Finance
                       and the Lessee for that Lease Agreement), then the
                       proceeds of sale and the value of that item will be
                       deemed to be zero.

13.3      If on the date referred to in clause 13.1(a) Volvo Finance consents
          to the Lessee remaining in possession of an item of Equipment, clauses
          13.1(b) and 13.2 will only come into operation upon the termination of
          that extended possession. The extended possession will be on a monthly
          basis at a monthly rent equal to the last Lease Installment payable
          under the relevant Lease Agreement. The Lessee shall observe and
          perform the terms of this Agreement and the relevant Lease Agreement
          as far as applicable in connection with that

                                                                         Page 31

          extended possession. The extended possession is subject to termination
          by one month's notice by Volvo Finance or the Lessee to the other of
          them.

13.4      Volvo Finance is not liable to the Lessee in any manner in respect of
          any failure or delay to recover or in recovering possession of the
          Equipment.

     provided under the Lease Agreement and punctually observing and performing
     its obligations under the Lease Agreement may peacefully possess and enjoy
     the Equipment until the expiration of the Term without any disturbance or

          obliged to give the reasons for its determination or opinion in
          relation to any matter under this Agreement or a Lease Agreement. A
          determination or an opinion of an Authorised Representative of Volvo
          Finance which is given to the Lessee or otherwise expressed or acted
          upon by Volvo Finance as being a determination or an opinion of Volvo

          Finance.

          (a)  payments made by Volvo Finance for the account of the Lessee
               under a Lease 3 Agreement;

          (b)  payments by the Lessee for the account of Volvo Finance under a
               Lease Agreement; and

          (c)  interest, fees, charges, costs and expenses payable in relation
               to a Lease Agreement,

          and those records will against the Lessee constitute conclusive
          evidence, in the absence of manifest error, of the matters set out in
          them.

16.4      The Lessee shall promptly execute all documents and do all things that
          Volvo Finance from time to time reasonably requires to:

          (a)  effect, perfect or complete the provisions of this Agreement, a
               Lease Agreement or any transaction contemplated by it;

          (b)  establish the priority of or reserve or create any Security
               Interest contemplated by or purported to be reserved or created
               by this Agreement or a Lease Agreement; and

          (c)  stamp and register this Agreement or a Lease Agreement in any
               relevant jurisdiction and by any person that Volvo Finance thinks
               fit.

16.5
          (a)  This Agreement and each Lease Agreement may only be varied or
               replaced by a written document duly executed by Volvo Finance.

          (b)  In the event that the Lessee requests a variation ("VARIATION")
               of the Term or of the Equipment rented under a Lease Agreement,
               Volvo Finance may in its absolute

                                                                         Page 34

               discretion agree to such Variation and forward an Acknowledgement
               of Variation of Agreement to the Lessee setting out the details
               of any such change. Any Variation shall be effective from the
               date specified therein and shall be binding on the Lessee when it
               signs that acknowledgement. In the event that a copy of that
               acknowledgement signed by the Lessee is not received by Volvo
               Finance within 7 days of the date of the acknowledgement, Volvo
               Finance may elect not to be bound by the Variation.

16.6      A right in favour of Volvo Finance under this Agreement or a Lease
          Agreement, a breach of an obligation of the Lessee under this
          Agreement or a Lease Agreement or the occurrence of an Event of
          Default can only be waived by a written instrument signed by Volvo
          Finance. No other act, omission or delay of Volvo Finance will
          constitute a waiver. A single or partial exercise or waiver by Volvo
          Finance of a right relating to this Agreement or a Lease Agreement
          will not prevent any other exercise of that right or the exercise of
          any other right. Volvo Finance and its Authorised Representatives will
          not be liable for any loss, cost or expense of the Lessee caused or
          contributed to by the waiver of, exercise of, attempted exercise of,
          failure to exercise or delay in exercising a right and Volvo Finance
          holds the benefit of this clause 16.6 for itself and its Authorised
          Representatives.

16.7      The rights of Volvo Finance under this Agreement and each Lease
          Agreement are cumulative and are in addition to any of its other
          rights.

16.8      Volvo Finance may conditionally or unconditionally give or withhold
          any consent to be given under this Agreement or a Lease Agreement and
          is not obliged to give its reasons for doing so.

16.9      Any present or future legislation which operates:

          (a)  to lessen or vary in favour of the Lessee any of its obligations
               in connection with this Agreement or a Lease Agreement; or

          (b)  to postpone, stay, suspend or curtail any rights of Volvo Finance
               under this Agreement or a Lease Agreement,

          is excluded except to the extent that its exclusion is prohibited or
          rendered ineffective by law.

16.10     The Lessee acknowledges that the Lessee may have been introduced to
          Volvo Finance by a broker, agent, dealer or other person and consents
          to the payment of any proper and lawfully permissible commission by
          Volvo Finance to such broker, agent, dealer or other person on the
          Lessee's behalf.

16.11     At its sole discretion Volvo Finance may apply (without notice) any
          credit balance in any currency in any account of the Lessee with Volvo
          Finance towards satisfaction of any amount then payable by the Lessee
          to Volvo Finance under this Agreement or a Lease Agreement, The Lessee
          authorises Volvo Finance in the name of the Lessee or Volvo Finance to
          do anything (including, without limitation, to execute any document)
          that is required for that purpose.

16.12     Volvo Finance may do anything which should have been done by the
          Lessee under this Agreement or a Lease Agreement but which has not
          been done or which Volvo Finance considers has not been done properly.

16.13     No option to purchase the Equipment is conferred or implied by this
          Agreement or its Lease Agreement on the Lessee and there is no option
          or agreement either express or implied in the Lessee's favour for the
          sale of the Equipment to the Lessee on the expiration of the Term or
          at any other time.

17   ATTORNEY

          Authorised Representatives its attorney with the power:

          (a)  at any time to:

               (i)     do everything which in the attorney's reasonable opinion
                       is necessary or expedient to enable the exercise of any
                       right of Volvo Finance in relation to this Agreement or a
                       Lease Agreement;

               (ii)    complete this Agreement or a Lease Agreement; and

               (iii)   appoint substitutes and otherwise delegate its powers
                       (including this power of delegation); and

          (b)  after any Event of Default has occurred, to do all acts and
               things which the Lessee is obliged to do under this Agreement or
               a Lease Agreement.

17.2      Any attorney may exercise any right solely for the benefit of Volvo
          Finance and notwithstanding that the exercise of the right constitutes
          a conflict of interest or duty. The Lessee by this Agreement ratifies
          anything done or not done by the attorney pursuant to the power of
          attorney.

17.3      The power of attorney is granted:

          (a)  to secure compliance by the Lessee with its obligations to Volvo
               Finance under this Agreement and each Lease Agreement; and

          (b)  for valuable consideration (receipt of which is acknowledged)
               which includes entry into this Agreement and each Lease Agreement
               by Volvo Finance at the Lessee's request.

18.  GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION

18.1      This Agreement and each Lease Agreement are governed by and shall be
          construed in accordance with the laws of the Relevant Jurisdiction.

          Lease Agreement may be brought by either party more than 2 calendar
          years after the cause of action has arisen except in the case of
          non-payment in which event the appropriate statutory limitation to
          actions for collections will apply.

     This Agreement and each Lease Agreement may consist of a number of
     counterparts and the counterparts taken together constitute one and the
     same instrument.

20.  GST

20.1      Definitions

          In clause 20, the expressions "adjustment note", "consideration",
          "GST", "input tax credit", "recipient" and "taxable supply" have the
          meanings given to those expressions in the A New Tax System (Goods and
          Services Tax) Act 1999.

20.2      Sums exclude GST

          Unless otherwise expressly stated, all prices or other sums payable or
          consideration to be provided under this document are exclusive of GST.

20.3      Reduction of other taxes

          (a)  If the introduction of GST is associated with the abolition or
               reduction of any tax, duty, excise or statutory charge which
               directly or indirectly affects the net dollar margin of a
               supplier in respect of any supply made under this document, the
               consideration (excluding GST) payable for the supply will be
               varied so that the supplier's net dollar margin in respect of the
               supply remains the same.

20.4      Responsibility for GST

          (a)  Despite any other provision in this document, if GST is imposed
               on any supply made under this document, the recipient must pay to
               the supplier an amount equal to the GST payable on the taxable
               supply.

          (b)  If the consideration for the taxable supply is varied under
               clause 20.3, the GST must be calculated on the varied
               consideration.

          (c)  The recipient shall pay the amount referred to in clause 20.4 (a)
               at the same time that the consideration for the supply is
               required to be paid under this document, and the recipient shall
               pay the amount in addition to the consideration.

20.5      Reimbursement of expenses

          If this document requires a party to reimburse any other party for any
          expense, loss or outgoing ("reimbursable expense") incurred by another
          party, the amount required to be reimbursed by the first party will be
          the sum of:

          (a)  the amount of the reimbursable expense net of input tax credits
               (if any) to which the other party is entitled in respect of the
               reimbursable expense; and

          (b)  if the other party's recovery from the first party is a taxable
               supply, any GST payable in respect of that supply.

20.6      Tax invoice

          The supplier must provide the recipient with a valid tax invoice or an
          adjustment note at or before the time of payment or variation.

20.7      Adjustment

          If the amount of GST paid or payable by the supplier on any supply
          made under this document differs from the amount of GST paid by the
          recipient, because the Commissioner of Taxation lawfully adjusts the
          value of the taxable supply for the purpose of calculating GST, then
          the amount of GST paid by the recipient will be adjusted accordingly
          by a further payment by the recipient to the supplier of the supplier
          to the recipient, as the case requires.
