	 	(e)	 	each Lender may separately enforce its rights under any Transaction
Document.






	2.2	 	Terms of Transaction Documents






	 	(a)	 	Each Transaction Party and Lender agree that the terms of this deed are
incorporated in the Facility Agreement for that Lender.
	 
	 	(b)	 	If there is any inconsistency between the terms of this deed and the terms
of the Transaction Documents of a Lender, as between the Transaction Parties and that
Lender the terms of the Transaction Documents for that Lender will prevail to the
extent of the inconsistency.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Sims will promptly notify a Lender (First Lender) if, in the reasonable
opinion of Sims, the terms of a Facility provided by the First Lender (other than
those terms related to pricing (including fees and margins), facility limits and
repayment dates) are or become less favourable to the First Lender in any material
respect than the terms of a Facility provided by any other Lender (the Other Lender)
(including the granting of an Encumbrance to any party other than pursuant to an
Encumbrance permitted by the terms of the First Lender’s Facility). Upon request
from the First Lender, the Transaction Parties will amend the Facility Agreement or
Transaction Documents of the First Lender to provide for the same or substantially
similar terms and conditions to apply to the First Lender.

have not resulted in and could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect. No Sims US Company has incurred any liability pursuant to Title I or
IV of ERISA or the penalty or excise tax provisions of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code
relating to employee benefit plans (as defined in Section 3 of ERISA), and no event,
transaction or condition has occurred or exists that would reasonably be expected to
result in the incurrence of any such liability by a Sims US Company, or in the
imposition of any lien on any of the rights, properties or assets of a Sims US
Company, in either case pursuant to Title I or IV of ERISA or to such penalty or
excise tax provisions or to Section 401(a)(29) or 412 of the U.S. Internal Revenue

Material Adverse Effect;

carrying any “margin security” or “margin stock” as such terms are used in
Regulations U and X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; and
	 
	 	(ee)	 	Not an Investment Company: No Transaction Party is, nor during the term of
the loan will it be, an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended.

	 	8 German Guarantors







	7.16	 	Judgments
	 
	 	 	A final judgment obtained against a relevant Transaction Party is conclusive as against
each Guarantor.






	8	 	German Guarantors






	 	(a)	 	To the extent that the guarantee created under clause 7 is granted by a
German Guarantor (a German Guarantee) and the German Guarantee guarantees to a Lender
(the Relevant Lender) amounts which are owed by direct or indirect shareholders of
the German Guarantor or affiliated companies of such shareholders (with the exception
of affiliated companies which are also affiliated companies of the German Guarantor),
the German Guarantee to the Relevant Lender shall be subject to certain limitations
as set out in clause 8(b). In relation to any other amounts guaranteed, the German
Guarantee remains unlimited.
	 
	 	(b)	 	To the extent that a demand under clause 7 is made by a Relevant Lender
upon a German Guarantor in respect of amounts in relation to which the conditions
pursuant to clause 8(a) are fulfilled, the relevant German Guarantor’s liability
shall be limited, in respect of that demand only:






	 	(1)	 	if the value of that German Guarantor’s Net Assets is
greater than its stated share capital at the time of the demand, to that
amount such that after payment of that amount the value of the German
Guarantor’s Net Assets is not less than its stated share capital
(Stammkapital); or
	 
	 	(2)	 	if the value of its Net Assets is lower than its stated
share capital at the time of the demand, to nil,






for the purpose of not affecting its assets which are required for the
obligatory preservation of its stated share capital according to §§ 30, 31
German GmbH-Act (GmbH-Gesetz).




	(c)	 	In this clause 8, Net Assets (Nettovermögen) means the sum of the German
Guarantor’s assets pursuant to Section 266 para. 2 A, B and C of the German
Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch), less the sum of the German Guarantor’s
liabilities pursuant to Section 266, paragraphs 3 B, C (but disregarding, for the
avoidance of doubt, the obligations under clause 7 of this deed) and D of the German
Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch) each as shown in a balance sheet as of the date
on which the enforcement of the German Guarantee is sought (Stichtagsbilanz) whereby
the balance sheet shall be adjusted as set out under clause 8(d).
	 
	(d)	 	For the purposes of calculating the Net Assets, the following balance sheet
items shall be adjusted as follows:






	 	(1)	 	loans provided to the German Guarantor shall be
disregarded, if and to the extent such loans have been made available,
directly or indirectly to the German Guarantor from funds made available by
the Relevant Lender;
	 
	 	(2)	 	the amount of any increase of the stated share capital
(Stammkapital) of the German Guarantor registered after the date of such
German




page 43









 











			
	
	 	9 Payments







	 	 	 	Guarantor becoming a party to this deed without the prior written
consent of the Relevant Lender shall be deducted from the relevant stated
share capital;
	 
	 	(3)	 	loans provided to the German Guarantor by any of its
affiliated entities shall be disregarded if and to the extent such loans
are subordinated, or are considered subordinated pursuant to Section 39,
paragraph 1, number 5 German Insolvency Act (InsO); and
	 
	 	(4)	 	loans and other liabilities incurred in violation of
the provisions of the Transaction Documents shall be disregarded.






	 	(e)	 	This clause 8 shall apply mutatis mutandis if the German Guarantee is
granted by a Guarantor incorporated in Germany as a limited liability partnership
(GmbH & Co. KG) in relation to the limited liability company as general partner
(Komplementär) of such Guarantor.






	9	 	Payments

page 44









 











			
	
	 	9 Payments

under any Transaction Document; or
	 
	 	(b)	 	the Lender is required to pay any Tax (other than Excluded Tax) in respect
of any payment it receives from a Transaction Party under any Transaction Document,






the Transaction Party:




	 	(c)	 	indemnifies the Lender against that Tax; and
	 
	 	(d)	 	must pay to the Lender an additional amount which the Lender determines to
be necessary to ensure that the Lender receives when due a net amount (after payment

would have received if a deduction or withholding or payment of Tax had not been
made.






	9.5	 	Taxation deduction procedures

	 	(a)	 	the Transaction Party must pay the amount deducted or withheld to the
appropriate Government Agency as required by law; and
	 
	 	(b)	 	the Transaction Party must:

by the Government Agency in connection with the payment); and
	 
	 	(2)	 	within 2 Business Days after receipt of the documents
referred to in clause 9.5(b)(1), deliver copies of them to the Lender.






	9.6	 	Tax Credit
	 
	 	 	If a Transaction Party makes an additional payment under clause 9.4 for the benefit of the
Lender, and the Lender determines that:






	 	(a)	 	a credit against, relief or remission for, or repayment of any Tax (Tax
Credit) is attributable to that additional payment; and
	 
	 	(b)	 	the Lender has obtained, utilised and retained that Tax Credit,






then the Lender must pay an amount to the Transaction Party which the Lender determines
will leave it (after that payment) in the same after Tax position as it would have been in
had the additional payment not been made by the Transaction Party.




	9.7	 	Tax affairs
	 
	 	 	Nothing in clause 9.6:




page 45

manner it thinks fit;
	 
	 	(b)	 	obliges the Lender to investigate the availability of, or claim, any Tax
Credit; or
	 
	 	(c)	 	obliges the Lender to disclose any information relating to its tax affairs
or any tax computations.






	9.8	 	Amounts payable on demand
	 
	 	 	If any amount payable by a Transaction Party under any Transaction Document is not
expressed to be payable on a specified date, that amount is payable by the Transaction
Party on demand by the Lender.
	 
	9.9	 	Appropriation of payments






	 	(a)	 	All payments made by a Transaction Party under a Transaction Document may
be appropriated as between principal, interest and other amounts as the Lender
determines or, failing any determination, in the following order:






	 	(1)	 	first, towards reimbursement of all fees, costs,
expenses, charges, damages and indemnity payments due and payable by the
Transaction Parties under the Transaction Documents;
	 
	 	(2)	 	second, towards payment of interest due and payable
under the Transaction Documents; and
	 
	 	(3)	 	third, towards repayment or prepayment of the Principal
Outstanding.






	 	(b)	 	Any appropriation under clauses 9.9(a) overrides any appropriation made by
a Transaction Party.






	9.10	 	Currency exchanges
	 
	 	 	If the Lender receives an amount under a Transaction Document in a currency which is not
in the Relevant Currency, the Lender:






	 	(a)	 	may convert the amount received into the Relevant Currency in accordance
with its normal procedures; and
	 
	 	(b)	 	is only regarded as having received the amount that it has converted into
the Relevant Currency.

	9.12	 	Change of currency






	 	(a)	 	Unless otherwise prohibited by law, if more than one currency or currency
unit are at the same time recognised by the central bank of any country as the lawful
currency of that country, then:






	 	(1)	 	any reference in a Transaction Document to, and any
obligations arising under a Transaction Document in, the currency of that
country shall be translated into, or paid in, the currency or currency unit
of that country designated by the Lender (after consultation with the
Borrowers); and
	 
	 	(2)	 	any translation from one currency or currency unit to
another shall be at the official rate of exchange recognised by the central
bank for the conversion of that currency or currency unit into the other,
rounded up or down by the Lender (acting reasonably).






	 	(b)	 	If a change in any currency of a country occurs, this agreement will, to
the extent the Lender (acting reasonably and after consultation with the Borrowers)
specifies to be necessary, be amended to comply with any generally accepted
conventions and market practice in the Relevant Interbank Market and otherwise to
reflect the change in currency.






	10	 	Increased costs and illegality
	 
	10.1	 	Increased costs






	 	(a)	 	If a Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting it or any of its
holding companies (each a Holding Company) directly or indirectly:






	 	(1)	 	increases the effective cost to the Lender of
performing its obligations under the Transaction Documents of that Lender
or funding or maintaining that Lender’s participation in that Lender’s
Facility;
	 
	 	(2)	 	reduces any amount received or receivable by the Lender
under the Transaction Documents of that Lender; or

Lender or any Holding Company under the Transaction Documents of that
Lender or the overall return on capital of the Lender or any Holding
Company,




page 47









 











			
	
	 	10 Increased costs and illegality







	 	 	 	(each an Increased Cost), the Borrowers must pay to the Lender on demand
compensation for the Increased Cost to the extent attributed by the Lender or
Holding Company (using the methods it considers appropriate) to the Lender’s
obligations under the Transaction Documents of that Lender or the funding or
maintenance of that Lender’s Facility.
	 
	 	(b)	 	A Transaction Party is not obliged to pay compensation under this clause if
the relevant increased cost, reduction in the amount receivable or reduction in
return on capital is:






	 	(1)	 	fully compensated for by clause 9.4; or
	 
	 	(2)	 	attributable to the wilful breach by the Lender
claiming the benefit of the clause of any law or a breach by the Lender of
the terms of a Transaction Document.






	 	(c)	 	A claim under clause 10.1(a) in the absence of manifest error, is
sufficient evidence of the amount to which the Lender is entitled under clause
10.1(a) unless the contrary is proved.
	 
	 	(d)	 	If Sims receives a demand from a Lender under clause 10.1(a), the Borrowers
may, by written notice to the Lender on or before the date which is 20 Business Days
after the date of that demand, cancel the commitment of that Lender and prepay its
Outstanding Moneys in full.
	 
	 	(e)	 	A notice under clause 10.1(d) is irrevocable and the relevant Borrowers
must, on the date which is 40 Business Days after the date that the notice is given,
pay to that Lender the Outstanding Moneys of that Lender in full.






	10.2	 	Illegality






	 	(a)	 	If any Change in Law or other event makes it illegal for a Lender to
perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents of that Lender or fund or
maintain that Lender’s Facility, that Lender may by notice to Sims:






	 	(1)	 	suspend all or part of its obligations under the
Transaction Documents for the duration of the illegality; or
	 
	 	(2)	 	by notice to Sims, cancel all or part of its Commitment
and require the Borrowers to repay the Outstanding Moneys in part or in
full on the date which is 40 Business Days after the date on which the
Lender gives the notice or any earlier date required by, or to comply with,
the applicable law,






	 	 	 	provided that if the Lender determines in its absolute discretion that the
illegality can be avoided by a partial suspension or cancellation, then the
Lender may only suspend its obligations or cancel its Commitment under this

Issue, arises Sims and the Lender must not commence any court proceedings relating to
the Issue unless it has complied with the provisions of this clause 17.3, except to
seek urgent interlocutory relief.
	 
	 	(b)	 	If Sims or the Lender become aware of an Issue or a circumstance that is
reasonably likely to result in an Issue, it must promptly notify the other (Initial

other period as agreed to in writing between Sims and the Lender), then either Sims
or the Lender may give a written notice to the other specifying the nature and
details of the Issue (Notification).
	 
	 	(c)	 	If an Issue is resolved within ten (10) Business Days from the date on
which Initial Notice is provided (excluding the date on which Initial Notice is

exchanged between Sims and the Lender in accordance with clause 17.3(c), a Dispute
will not be taken to have arisen in relation to any Issue and the provisions of this
clause 17.3 will no longer apply. If the provisions of this clause 17.3 no longer

of twelve (12) Business Days after the Notification is given (excluding the
date on which the Notification is given), or two (2) Business Days
following a decision by Sims and the Lender to submit the Dispute to expert
determination (excluding the date on which that decision is reached) (or
such other period as agreed to in writing between Sims and the Lender);

	 	17 General







	 	(2)	 	if only the Lender or only Sims nominates an expert by
the time specified in, and otherwise in accordance with, clause 17.3(f)(1),
the nominated expert will be taken to have been agreed to by both Sims and
the Lender and that expert will be validly appointed;
	 
	 	(3)	 	if Sims and the Lender do not agree on the appointment
of an expert within three (3) Business Days after both expert nominations
have been submitted (excluding the date on which both nominations have been
submitted), the matter will be referred to the President of the Institute
of Chartered Accountants of Australia who will nominate an expert to
determine the Dispute and both Sims and the Lender will accept this
nomination;
	 
	 	(4)	 	where Sims is engaged in a dispute with any of its
other lenders (which have adopted a dispute resolution clause in
substantially the same form as this clause 17.3) in relation to the same
subject matter as a Dispute or Issue between Sims and the Lender, the
Lender agrees to the common appointment of an expert to resolve the
disputes simultaneously and an expert appointed in these circumstances can
only be appointed if the expert accepts a common appointment;
	 
	 	(5)	 	the terms of the expert’s retainer must provide that in
resolving the Dispute the expert will, to the extent relevant, be subject
to the then current ACDC Guidelines for Expert Determination, and will use
all reasonable endeavours to ensure that if a Dispute relates to a current
Calculation Period a decision is reached prior to the Calculation Date for
that Calculation Period;
	 
	 	(6)	 	the terms of the expert’s retainer must provide that
the expert must provide a decision as soon as reasonably practicable and in
any event no later than the five (5) Business Days from the date of
referral (excluding the date of referral) (or such other period as agreed
to in writing between Sims and the Lender);
	 
	 	(7)	 	the decision of the expert is final and binding on the
Lender and the Transaction Parties except in the case of manifest error;
and
