	 	(b)	is calculated on the basis of the actual number of days on which interest has accrued and of (i) a 365 day year (in relation to amounts due in Australian Dollars or Sterling);
or (ii) a 360 day year (in relation to amounts due in US Dollars or Euros). 

  

	9.	Bill reliquefication 

  

	9.1	Drawing of Bills 

 The Borrower agrees to draw Bills
in connection with any Advance in the manner required by any Financier whenever requested by a Financier to do so. The discounted value of those Bills when added to the aggregate discounted value of all other Bills drawn under this clause 9.1 for
the relevant Financier and which are outstanding at any time may not exceed that Financier’s participation in all Advances which are outstanding at that time. 
  

	9.2	Attorney 

 The Borrower irrevocably and for valuable
consideration appoints each Financier (severally) as its attorney to draw Bills in its name or on its behalf under clause 9.1 and agrees to ratify all action taken by any Financier as its attorney under this clause 9.2. 
  

	9.3	Dealing 

 Each Financier may realise or deal with
any bill drawn for it under clause 9.1 as it, in its discretion, determines. 
  

	9.4	Appointment revoked 

 The requirement to draw Bills
under clause 9.1 and each appointment under clause 9.2 will cease and be revoked without necessity for notice when all Advances are fully and finally repaid. Nothing in clause 9.1 or 9.2 requires the Borrower, or authorises any Financier as
attorney, to draw a Bill which matures after, in the case of Bills drawn in connection with any Tranche A Advance, the Tranche A Termination Date or, in the case of Bills drawn in connection with any Tranche B Advance, the Tranche B Termination Date
or, in the case of Bills drawn in connection with any Tranche C Advance, the Tranche C Termination Date or, in the case of Bills drawn in connection with any Tranche D Advance, the Tranche D Termination Date. 
  

	9.5	Indemnity 

  

	 	(a)	Each Financier indemnifies the Borrower against liability on any Bill drawn by the Borrower at the request of that Financier under clause 9.1 or drawn by that Financier under clause
9.2. Each Financier agrees to pay the costs of preparation of and all stamp duty on each Bill drawn at its request under clause 9.1 or by it acting as attorney under clause 9.2. 

  

	 	(b)	Clause 9.5(a) does not affect any obligation of the Borrower under the Finance Documents. In particular the obligations of the Borrower to make payments under the Finance Documents
are not in any way affected by any liability of a Financier, contingent or otherwise, under the indemnity in clause 9.5(a). 

  

 29 









	9.6	Notice 

 On request from the Borrower through the
Facility Agent (not more often than once each quarter) each Financier will notify the Borrower through the Facility Agent of the total face value of Bills outstanding at that time under this clause 9 which have been drawn by the Borrower at the
request of that Financier under clause 9.1 or drawn by that Financier as attorney under clause 9.2. 
  

	9.7	Satisfaction of Obligations 

 If the Borrower
discharges any Bill drawn under this clause 9 at its maturity by payment the amount of that payment will be taken to have satisfied, to the extent of the payment, amounts owing to the Financier that prepared the Bill or at whose request the Borrower
prepared that Bill. 
  

	10.	Fees 

  

	10.1	Upfront fees 

  

	 	(a)	For Tranche A, Tranche B and Tranche C, the Borrower will pay to the Facility Agent for distribution among the Financiers such fees calculated and payable in accordance with the

this clause 10 are non-refundable and non-rebateable. 
  

	11.	Payments 

  

	11.1	Payment to Security Trustee 

  

	 	(a)	All payments to be made by any Obligor under the Finance Documents will be paid to or to the order of the Security Trustee or, in the case of the Pledge, HSBC Bank Australia Limited
as security agent, provided that the Security Trustee and HSBC Bank Australia Limited as security agent (in the case of the Pledge) consents, subject to clause 11.1(b), to all payments being made to the Facility Agent, until the Security becomes
enforceable and the Security Trustee or, in the case of the Pledge, HSBC Bank Australia Limited as security agent withdraws its consent by notice to the Facility Agent and the Borrower. 

  

 31 









	 	(b)	Any payment made by an Obligor to the Security Trustee, HSBC Bank Australia Limited as security agent or the Facility Agent for the account of any other Finance Party on the terms
of clause 11.1(a) satisfies the Obligor’s obligation to make that payment. 

  

	11.2	Time and place 

  

	 	(a)	Subject to clause 11.1 all payments by any Obligor under any Finance Document or by any Financier under this agreement are to be made to the Facility Agent in the required currency
specified in the Finance Document in immediately available funds not later than 11.00 am (Sydney time) on the due date to the account that the Facility Agent from time to time designates at least 1 Business Day before the payment is made or as
otherwise agreed between the Borrower and the Facility Agent. 

  

	 	(b)	Payment made by an Obligor to the Facility Agent for the account of any other Finance Party on the terms of clause 11.1(a) satisfies the Obligor’s obligation to make that
payment. 

  

	11.3	Merger 

 If the liability of any Obligor to pay any
money the payment or repayment of which forms part of the Obligations becomes merged in any judgment or order, the Obligor will, as an independent obligation, pay to the Facility Agent on behalf of the Financiers interest at the rate which is the
higher of that payable under the Finance Documents and that fixed by or payable under the judgment or order. 
  

	11.4	Currency for payments 

  

	 	(a)	Advances will be repaid in the currency in which they were drawn down; and interest and other amounts attributable to Advances will be paid in the currency of the relevant Advance.
Costs and expenses will be paid in the currency in which they were incurred. 

  

	 	(b)	If, for any reason (including as a result of a judgment or order), an amount payable by the Borrower under or in respect of this agreement (Relevant Amount) is received by
another party in a currency (Payment Currency) that is not the currency in which the amount is expressed to be payable under this agreement (Required Currency) then the Borrower, as an independent obligation, must indemnify that party
against, and must pay that party on demand the amount of, any shortfall between: 

  

	 	(i)	the amount of Required Currency which that party receives on converting the amount it received in the Payment Currency into an amount in the Required Currency in accordance with its
usual practice; and 

  

	 	(ii)	the Relevant Amount in the Required Currency. 

  

	11.5	Payments to the Obligors 

 Each payment received by
the Facility Agent for payment to any Obligor will be made available to the Obligors by application, on the date of receipt: 
  

	 	(a)	first, in or towards payment of any amounts then due and payable (and unpaid) by any Obligor under the Finance Documents; and 

  

 32 









	 	(b)	second, in payment to the account the Borrower has properly designated for the purpose in the relevant Drawdown Notice or otherwise in writing. 

  

	11.6	Payments to the Financiers 

 The Facility Agent and
the Security Trustee will promptly distribute amounts received for payment to the Finance Parties among the Finance Parties (in the case of a Financier, for the account of its Facility Office) proportionally to their respective entitlements by
payment to the account each Finance Party has previously notified to the Facility Agent provided that it may deduct from any payment any amount due to the Facility Agent or the Security Trustee by the relevant Finance Party under clause 11.8, 21.21
or 23. 
  

	11.7	Insufficient payment 

 If the Facility Agent or
Security Trustee receives a payment under any Finance Document that is insufficient to discharge all the amounts then due and payable by any Obligor under the Finance Documents, the Facility Agent or the Security Trustee, as applicable, may
apportion that amount between principal, interest, commission, fees, charges and other amounts payable under the Finance Documents in any manner it determines and any such determination will be binding on each Finance Party and each Obligor.

  

	11.8	Anticipatory payments 

 Neither the Facility Agent
nor the Security Trustee will be obliged to make a payment to a Finance Party or an Obligor out of any sum which it is expecting to receive for the account of that Finance Party or Obligor until it has established that it has received the sum. If
either the Facility Agent or the Security Trustee in its absolute discretion elects to make a payment, to the extent that the payment is made but the Facility Agent or the Security Trustee, as applicable, does not receive the sum when due in whole
or in part: 
  

	 	(a)	each person to which that payment was made will, on request by the Facility Agent or the Security Trustee, immediately refund that payment to the Facility Agent or the Security
Trustee, as applicable; 

  

	 	(b)	each person to which that payment was made will pay to the Facility Agent or the Security Trustee, as applicable, interest on the amount of the sum not paid when due under clause
11.8(a) at a rate determined by the Facility Agent or the Security Trustee, as applicable, to be equal to its cost of funds for the period from the date of payment by the Facility Agent or Security Trustee to the date of receipt by the Facility
Agent or the Security Trustee of the due amount. 

 The provisions of this clause 11.8 are without prejudice to any other rights
which any person may have against any party who fails to pay any sum in accordance with any Finance Document.

 All payments by the Obligors under any Finance Document, whether of principal, interest or other amounts, will be: 
  

	 	(a)	without (and free and clear of any deduction for) any set-off or counterclaim; and 

  

	 	(b)	without deduction or withholding for any present or future Taxes unless the Obligor is compelled by law to deduct or withhold the same. 

  

 33 









	12.2	Payment net of Taxes 

 If: 
  

	 	(a)	an Obligor is compelled by law to make any deduction or withholding from any payment under any Finance Document on account of Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes);

	 	(d)	a Finance Party is obliged to pay any Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes) in respect of a payment made or to be made by an Obligor under the Finance Documents,


 then: 
  

	 	(i)	the Borrower will on demand by the Facility Agent pay to the Facility Agent any additional amounts necessary to ensure that the Finance Party affected receives (after all deductions
and withholdings for Taxes other than Excluded Taxes) a net amount equal to the full amount which it would have been entitled to receive and retain had the deduction or withholding not been made or had the payment been free and clear of Taxes (other
than Excluded Taxes) or had the Finance Party not been obliged to pay any Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes) in respect of the payment; and 

  

	 	(ii)	where clause 12.2(a) applies the Obligor compelled to make the deduction or withholding will: 

  

	 	A.	pay to the appropriate Government Authority any amount deducted or withheld in respect of Taxes within the time allowed and in the minimum amount required by law; and


  

	 	B.	promptly after making the deduction or withholding provide to the Facility Agent evidence satisfactory to the Facility Agent of that payment having been made.

	 	(b)	the Financier may, by notice to the Borrower (through the Facility Agent), terminate its obligations under all of the Finance Documents; 

  

	 	(c)	 if a notice is given under clause 13(b), the Borrower will prepay an amount equal to the Financier’s participation in all Advances together with all interest
and other charges accrued on the Financier’s participation and all other amounts payable to the Financier under the Finance Documents in full immediately, or if delay in prepayment does 



  

 34 









	 	 
not compound the unlawful event, on the last day of the current Interest Period (or any lesser period if the applicable law requires) notice to that effect
from the Financier to the Borrower (through the Facility Agent); and 


  

	 	(d)	the Borrower will indemnify the Financier, and despite the termination of its obligations under the Finance Documents keep the Financier indemnified, against any cost, loss, damage
or expense suffered, incurred or payable by it as a result of the operation of clause 13(a), 13(b) or 13(c) and will pay to the Facility Agent for the account of the Financier prior to termination of the Financier’s obligations under the
Finance Documents the amount the Financier estimates in good faith to be, then or in the future, payable to it by the Borrower under the indemnity in this clause 13(d). 

  

	14.	Increased cost 

  

	14.1	Obligation to indemnify 

  

	 	(a)	If because of any change in law or in its interpretation or administration or because of compliance with any request from or requirement of any Government Authority occurring, in
either case, after the date of this agreement: 

  

	 	(i)	a Financier incurs a cost as a result of it having entered into or performed its obligations under any of the Finance Documents or as a result of any Advance being outstanding;


  

	 	(ii)	there is any increase in the cost to a Financier of funding or maintaining any Advance made or to be made; 

  

	 	(iii)	there is a reduction in any amount due and payable to a Financier under any Finance Document; 

  

	 	(iv)	the rate of return to a Financier on the Advances or the anticipated rate of return on the Financier’s overall capital is, in either case, reduced; or 


 

	 	(v)	a Financier becomes liable to make any payment (not being a payment of any Excluded Tax) on or calculated by reference to the amount of the Advances, 

 then from time to time on notification by the Financier through the Facility Agent the Borrower will pay to the Facility Agent on account of the
Financier amounts sufficient to indemnify the Financier against that cost, increased cost, reduction or liability. 
  

	 	(b)	If a Financier has acted in good faith it is no defence that the cost, increased cost, reduction or liability could have been avoided. 

  

	 	(c)	A Financier’s certificate as to the amount of, and basis for arriving at, any cost, increased cost, reduction or liability is conclusive and binding on the Obligors in the
absence of manifest error on the face of the certificate. 

  

	14.2	Prepayment after increased cost 

 If the Facility
Agent has given a notice under clause 14.1 and that notice has not been withdrawn, the Borrower, by notice to the Facility Agent: 
  

	 	(a)	may terminate the relevant Financier’s obligation to provide its Commitment; and 

  


 35 









	 	(b)	may elect to prepay the amount of that Financier’s participation in all outstanding Advances, together with any accrued but unpaid interest and any other amounts (including
amounts payable under clause 20) outstanding under each Finance Document that relate to that Financier, on the first date on which the Borrower is required to pay interest under this agreement that falls at least 30 days after the later of:


  

	 	(i)	the date that the Facility Agent receives that notice; or

 With respect to its own Powers as a Financier, each of the Facility Agent and the Security Trustee will have the same Powers under each Finance Document as any other Financier and may exercise those Powers as though it were not performing

	 	(iii)	otherwise carrying out its duties or obligations as Facility Agent or Security Trustee, as applicable, under any Finance Document. 

 Each Financier agrees to pay amounts due under this clause 21.21(a) within 5 Business Days of demand from the Facility Agent or the Security Trustee, as

	 	(b)	Each Financier will severally indemnify each of the Facility Agent and the Security Trustee (to the extent that it is not indemnified by the Obligors) rateably in accordance with
its Commitments, or if the Total Commitments are then zero in accordance with its Commitments immediately before their reduction to zero, against all claims, costs, losses, damages or expenses suffered or incurred by or made against the Facility

	 	(c)	(Rights of successor Facility Agent): On the successor Facility Agent issuing a written notice to the other Finance Parties and the Borrower accepting its appointment and
specifying for the purposes of the Finance Documents an office in Australia and executing any other documents as the retiring Facility Agent may, acting reasonably, require, the successor Facility Agent will succeed to and be vested with all the
Powers of the retiring Facility Agent as Facility Agent and the retiring Facility Agent will be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Finance Documents. 

  

	 	(d)	(Provisions to continue): The provisions of this clause 21 will continue in effect in relation to the retiring Facility Agent in respect of any action taken or omitted to be
taken while the retiring Facility Agent was acting as the Facility Agent.

	 	(b)	modify or vary, or agree to modify or vary, any provision of any Finance Document. 

  

	22.	Set-off 

 If an Event of Default occurs, the
Facility Agent and each Financier, without notice to the Borrower, may combine any account that the Borrower holds with it with, or set off any amount that is or may become owing by it to the Borrower against, any amount owing by the Borrower to it
under any Finance Document. For this purpose the Facility Agent and each Financier may: 
  

	 	(a)	change the terms (including the repayment date) of any account or other payment obligation between the parties; 

  

	 	(b)	convert amounts into different currencies in accordance with its usual practice; and

 56 









	23.	Pro rata sharing 

 If at any time the proportion
which a Financier (“Overpaid Financier”) has received or recovered by set-off or otherwise in respect of its portion of any sum due from an Obligor to the Financiers under the Finance Documents is greater (the amount of the excess
being the “excess amount”) than the proportion received or recovered by the Financier receiving or recovering the smallest or no proportion of it, then: 
  

	 	(a)	the Overpaid Financier will, within 3 Business Days of the receipt or recovery, notify the Facility Agent; 

  

	 	(b)	the Overpaid Financier will, within 7 Business Days of notification, pay to the Facility Agent an amount equal to the excess amount; 

  

	 	(c)	the Facility Agent will treat each payment received under clause 23(b) as if it were a payment by the relevant Obligor on account of the sum due from the relevant Obligor and
distribute it to the Financiers (other than the Overpaid Financier) in accordance with clause 11; 

  

	 	(d)	unless clause 23(e) applies: 

  

	 	(i)	the liability of the Obligor to the Overpaid Financier will be increased (or treated as not having been reduced) by an amount equal to the excess amount; and


  

	 	(ii)	the relevant Obligor will fully indemnify the Overpaid Financier making a payment for the amount equal to the excess amount to the extent that, despite clause 23(d)(i), the Overpaid
Financier’s liability has been discharged by the receipt or recovery; 

  

	 	(e)	where the amount received or recovered by the Overpaid Financier was received or recovered otherwise than by payment and the Obligor, or the person from whom the receipt or recovery
was made, was insolvent at the time of the receipt or recovery or became insolvent as a result of the receipt or recovery, then: 

  

	 	(i)	each Financier (other than the Overpaid Financier) will assign to the Overpaid Financier an amount of the Obligations owed to that Financier equal to the amount received by it as
contemplated by clause 23(c); and 

  

	 	(ii)	that assignment will take effect immediately on receipt of payment by the assignor Financier as contemplated by clause 23(c); and 

  

	 	(f)	if all or a portion of the amount received or recovered by the Overpaid Financier is rescinded or must otherwise be restored to an Obligor (“Repaid Amount”):


  

	 	(i)	each Financier will repay to the Facility Agent for the account of the Overpaid Financier the amount as is necessary to ensure that each Financier repays its proportionate share of
the Repaid Amount (together with an amount as is necessary to reimburse the Overpaid Financier for its proportion of any interest on the Repaid Amount which the Overpaid Financier is required to pay) and the provisions of clauses 23(c), 23(d) and
23(e) will apply only to the retained amount; 

  

	 	(ii)	to the extent necessary, any Obligations assigned under clause 23(e) will be re-assigned; and 

  

 57 









	 	(iii)	the liability of the Obligor to each Financier will be increased (or treated as not having been reduced) by an amount equal to the amount repaid by that Financier under this clause
23(f). 

 Despite any other provision of this clause 23, if a Financier has commenced an action or proceeding in any court to
recover sums owing to it under any Finance Document and as a result, or in connection with the action or proceeding, has received an excess amount, the Financier will not be required to share any portion of that excess amount with any Financier
which was notified of the legal action or proceeding and which had the legal right to, but did not, join the action or proceeding or commence and diligently prosecute a separate action or proceeding to enforce its rights in the same or another
court.

	 	(b)	If GST is payable in respect of any supply made by or through a Finance Party (“Supplier”) under, pursuant to, or in connection with, any Finance Document
(“GST Liability”), then: 

  

	 	(i)	where consideration is provided by a party (“Recipient”) in relation to that supply that party will pay an additional amount to the Supplier equal to the full
amount of the GST Liability; and 

  

	 	(ii)	except where clause 24.2(b)(i) applies, the Borrower will indemnify and keep that Supplier indemnified for the full amount of the GST Liability. 

 Each Supplier will provide to the relevant Recipient or the Borrower a tax invoice complying with the relevant law relating to any payment made in

Office is made by any Financier, which results (or would but for this clause result) at the time of the substitution, transfer or change in amounts becoming payable under clauses 12.2 or 14.1 then the assignee, transferee or other Financier will be
entitled to receive those amounts only to the extent that the assignor or transferor or the Financier acting through its previous Facility Office would have been so entitled had there been no such assignment, transfer or change. Nothing in this
clause will affect the rights of a Financier under clauses 12.2 or 14.1 in relation to amounts which may become payable after the time of assignment, transfer or change. 

  

	 	(b)	No assignment or substitution of or with respect to all or any part of the rights or obligations of a Financier under the Finance Documents or change of Facility Office will be made

	 	(b)	Each communication sent under this clause 27.2 may be relied on by the recipient if the recipient, acting reasonably, believes the communication to be genuine and if it bears what
appears to be the signature (original or facsimile) of an authorised signatory of the sender. 

  

	 	(c)	Any communication sent or received by the Borrower in accordance with this clause 27.2 will be taken to have been sent or received by each of the Obligors. 


 

	27.3	Continuing obligation 

 Each Finance Document
constitutes a continuing obligation regardless of any settlement of account, intervening payment, express or implied revocation or any other matter or thing, until a final discharge has been given to the Obligors. 
  

	27.4	Settlement conditional 

 Any settlement or discharge
between any Finance Party and the Obligors (or any Obligor) is conditional on any security or payment given or made by any Obligor or any other person in relation to the Obligations not being avoided, repaid or reduced by virtue of any Insolvency
Provision. If a security or payment is so avoided, repaid or reduced, the relevant Finance Party is entitled to recover the value or amount from the Obligors subsequently as if the settlement or discharge had not occurred. 
  

	27.5	Further assurance 

 The Obligors on demand by the
Facility Agent or the Security Trustee and at the entire cost and expense of the Obligors will perform all such acts and execute all such agreements, assurances and other documents and instruments as the Facility Agent or the Security Trustee,
acting reasonably, requires to perfect or improve the rights and powers afforded or created, or intended to be afforded or created, by any Finance Document. 
  

	27.6	Severance 

 If at any time any provision of any
Finance Document is or becomes illegal, invalid, void or unenforceable in any respect under the law of any jurisdiction, that will not affect or impair: 
  

	 	(a)	the legality, validity or enforceability in that jurisdiction of any other provision of that Finance Document; or 

  

	 	(b)	the legality, validity or enforceability under the law of any other jurisdiction of that or any other provision of that Finance Document. 

  

 63 









	27.7	Remedies cumulative 

 The rights and remedies
conferred by each Finance Document on the Finance Parties are cumulative and in addition to all other rights or remedies available to the Finance Parties by law or by virtue of any Finance Document. 
  

	27.8	Waiver 

  

	 	(a)	Failure to exercise or enforce, or a delay in exercising or enforcing, or the partial exercise or enforcement of, any right, power, or remedy provided by law or under any Finance
Document by any Finance Party does not preclude, or operate as a waiver of, the exercise or enforcement, or further exercise or enforcement, of that or any other right, power or remedy provided by law or under any Finance Document.


  

	 	(b)	A waiver or consent given by a Finance Party under any Finance Document is only effective and binding on that Finance Party if it is given or confirmed in writing by that Finance
Party. 

  

	 	(c)	No waiver of a breach of a term of a Finance Document operates as a waiver of another breach of that term or of a breach of any other term of any Finance Document.


  

	27.9	Consents 

 A consent required under any Finance
Document from a Finance Party may be given or withheld, or may be given subject to any conditions, as that Finance Party (in its absolute discretion) thinks fit, unless the Finance Document expressly provides otherwise. 
  

	27.10	Indemnities 

  

	 	(a)	Each indemnity in each Finance Document is a continuing obligation, separate and independent from the other obligations of the parties, and survives termination, completion or
expiration of the Finance Documents. 

  

	 	(b)	It is not necessary for any Finance Party to incur any expense or to make any payment before enforcing a right of indemnity conferred by any Finance Document.


  

	27.11	Time of the essence 

 Time is of the essence in
respect of any Obligor’s obligations under the Finance Documents. 
  

	27.12	Moratorium legislation 

 To the fullest extent
permitted by law, all laws which at any time operate directly or indirectly to lessen or affect in favour of the Obligors any obligation under any Finance Document, or to delay or otherwise prevent or prejudicially affect the exercise by any Finance
Party of any power or right under any Finance Document or otherwise, are expressly waived. 
  

	27.13	Binding on each signatory 

 Each Finance Document
binds and is enforceable against each party despite: 
  

	 	(a)	any other party not executing a Finance Document or its execution being defective in any way; or 

  

	 	(b)	any obligation or liability of any other party under a Finance Document not being binding or enforceable against that party for any reason. 

  

 64 









	27.14	Counterparts 

  

	 	(a)	This agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the parties on separate counterparts. Each counterpart constitutes an original of this agreement, and all
together constitute one agreement. 

  

	 	(b)	A party who has executed a counterpart of this agreement may exchange that counterpart with another party by faxing it to that other party and, if that other party requests it,
promptly delivering that executed counterpart by hand or post to the other party. However, the validity of this agreement is not affected if that party who has faxed the counterpart delays in delivering or does not deliver it by hand or by post.


  

	27.15	Entire agreement 

 To the extent permitted by law,
in relation to its subject matter, the Finance Documents: 
  

	 	(a)	embody the entire understanding of the parties, and constitute the entire terms agreed by the parties; and 

  

	 	(b)	supersede any prior written or other agreement of the parties. 

  

	28.	No representation by or reliance 

 Each Obligor
acknowledges that: 
  

	 	(a)	no Finance Party has any duty to supply it with information in relation to or affecting the other Obligors or any Finance Party before the date of this agreement or during the
currency of any Finance Document; and 

  

	 	(b)	it has relied on its own inquiries as to the other Obligors, the nature and extent of the entire relationship between each of them and each Finance Party (whether or not recorded in
the Finance Documents) and the nature and effect of the Finance Documents.

2000 for itself and as agent for each party under the Facility Agreement 
 (“Facility Agent”) 
 Background 
 The New Financier wishes to assume [some/all] of the
Existing Financier’s Commitments under the Facility Agreement. 
  

	1.	Definitions and interpretation 

  

	1.1	Definitions 

 In this certificate: 
 “Facility Agreement” means the agreement entitled “Syndicated Facility Agreement” dated
[                    ] between ResMed Limited ABN 30 003 765 142 as the “Borrower”, each person listed in Schedule 1 as an “Original
Financier”, HSBC Bank Australia Limited ABN 48 006 434 162 as Facility Agent and HSBC Bank Australia Limited ABN 48 006 434 162 as Security Trustee as amended and restated on
[            ] 2008, including any supplements and amendments and also any Substitution Certificates entered into in accordance with that agreement. 
 “Substituted Commitments” means the Commitments specified as such in Schedule 1 of this certificate. 
 “Substituted Obligations” means obligations identical to the obligations of the Existing Financier under the Finance Documents in
relation to the Substituted Commitments and the Substituted Portion. 
 “Substituted Portion” means the amount of each
outstanding Advance specified as such in Schedule 2 of this certificate. 
 “Substituted Rights” means Powers identical to
the Powers of the Existing Financier under the Finance Documents in relation to the Substituted Commitments and the Substituted Portion. 
 “Substitution Date” means the later of the date on which this certificate is executed by the Facility Agent or a later date as the parties to this certificate may agree in writing. 
  

 70 









	1.2	Interpretation 

  

	 	(a)	A reference in this certificate to “identical” obligations or Powers is a reference to the character of those obligations or Powers rather than to the identity of
the person obliged to perform them or entitled to them. 

  

	 	(b)	Unless otherwise defined, expressions used in this certificate have the meanings given to them in the Facility Agreement. 

  

	 	(c)	For the purposes of this certificate, references in this certificate to Finance Document shall exclude the Working Capital Agreements. 

  

	1.3	Finance Documents 

 This certificate is a Finance
Document. 
  

	2.	Representation 

 The Existing Financier represents
and warrants to the New Financier that as at the Substitution Date the Existing Financier’s Commitments under the Facility Agreement are sufficient to permit the substitution of obligations and Powers under this certificate. 
  

	3.	Substituted Obligations 

  

	 	(a)	The Existing Financier is released from the Substituted Obligations with effect on and from the Substitution Date, provided that the Existing Financier will remain bound by its
obligations under the Finance Documents which accrue before the Substitution Date. 

  

	 	(b)	The New Financier undertakes to the Existing Financier, the other Finance Parties and the Obligors that it will assume the Substituted Obligations on and from the Substitution Date.


  

	4.	Substituted rights 

 The Existing Financier will no
longer be entitled to the Substituted Rights or the Substituted Portion and the New Financier will become entitled to the Substituted Rights and the Substituted Portion with effect on and from the Substitution Date. 
  

	5.	Effect on Finance Documents 

 The parties agree that
with effect on and from the Substitution Date: 
  

	 	(a)	the New Financier and each party to each Finance Document will assume obligations towards each other, and have Powers in relation to each other, determined on the basis that the
obligations of the New Financier are the Substituted Obligations and the Powers of the New Financier are the Substituted Rights (together with the obligations and Powers of the New Financier existing immediately before the Substitution Date, if
any); 

  

	 	(b)	the Existing Financier will be released from its obligations under each of the Finance Documents accruing on and after the Substitution Date to the extent of the Substituted
Obligations and it will cease to be entitled to exercise any Powers under the Finance Documents arising on or after the Substitution Date in respect of the Substituted Rights; and 

  

 71 









	 	(c)	the New Financier will be deemed a party to each Finance Document to which the Existing Financier is a party as a Financier with Commitments equal to the aggregate of the
Substituted Commitments and the Commitments of the New Financier immediately before the Substitution Date, if any. 

  

	6.	No effect on accrued rights and obligations 

 Save
as expressly provided, this certificate will not affect the Existing Financier’s Powers arising, and obligations accrued, before the Substitution Date. 
  

	7.	Reliquefication bills 

 Nothing contained in this
certificate releases, relieves or otherwise affects the obligations and the Powers of the Existing Financier in respect of Bills drawn under clause 9 of the Facility Agreement. The New Financier will not assume any obligations, or acquire any
Powers, in respect of those Bills. 
  

	8.	Payments 

  

	8.1	Consideration 

 The Existing Financier and the New
Financier will agree separately between themselves the amounts (if any) payable from one to the other in relation to the substitution of obligations and Powers under this certificate. 
  

	8.2	Facility Agent 

 On and from the Substitution Date
the Facility Agent: 
  

	 	(a)	will make all payments received by it in respect of the Substituted Commitments, Substituted Obligations, Substituted Rights and Substituted Portion to the New Financier; and


  

	 	(b)	treat the New Financier as Financier with Commitments equal to the aggregate of the Substituted Commitments and the Commitments of the New Financier immediately before the
Substitution Date, if any. 

  

	9.	Independent assessment 

  

	 	(a)	Without limiting clause 5 of this certificate, the New Financier agrees that clause 21.19 of the Facility Agreement binds it as if the references in that clause to “any Finance
Document” included this certificate and the references to the “Facility Agent or the Security Trustee” included the Existing Financier. 

  

	 	(b)	Nothing in any Finance Document obliges the Existing Financier to: 

  

	 	(i)	accept a retransfer of any of the rights and obligations transferred pursuant to this certificate; or 

  

	 	(ii)	support any losses directly or indirectly incurred by the New Financier by reason of the non-performance by any Obligor or any other person of its obligations under the Finance
Documents or otherwise. 

  

 72 









	10.	Acknowledgements 

 The New Financier acknowledges
that it has received a complete and current copy of each Finance Document together with all other documents and information as it reasonably requires in connection with entry into this certificate. 
  

	11.	Governing law 

 This certificate is governed by and
must be construed accordingly to the law applying in New South Wales.
