	(a)	 	If a Transaction Party fails to pay any amount payable by it under a Finance Document on its
due date, interest shall accrue on the overdue amount from the due date up to the date of
actual payment (both before and after judgment) at a rate which, subject to paragraph (b)
below, is the sum of 2 per cent and the rate which would have been payable if the overdue

Periods, each of a duration selected by the Lender (acting reasonably). Any interest accruing
under this Clause 9.3 shall be immediately payable by the Original Borrower on demand by the
Lender.
	 
	(b)	 	If any overdue amount consists of all or part of a Loan which became due on a day which was
not the last day of an Interest Period relating to that Loan:

to the unexpired portion of the current Interest Period relating to that Loan; and

Interest Period shall be 2 percent plus the rate which would have applied if the
overdue amount had not become due.






	(c)	 	Default interest (if unpaid) arising on an overdue amount will be compounded with the overdue
amount at the end of each Interest Period applicable to that overdue amount but will remain
immediately due and payable.
	 
	9.4	 	Notification of rates of interest
	 
	 	 	The Lender shall promptly notify the relevant Borrower of the determination of a rate of
interest under this Agreement.
	 
	9.5	 	Market disruption
	 
	(a)	 	If the Lender determines that a Market Disruption Event occurs in relation to a Loan for any
Interest Period, then it shall promptly notify the Borrowers, and the rate of interest on that
Loan for the Interest Period shall be the rate per annum which is the sum of:






	 	(i)	 	the applicable Margin; and

whatever source or sources it may reasonably select.






	(b)	 	The Lender shall determine the rate notified by it under sub-paragraph (a)(ii) above in good

	13.	 	TAX GROSS UP AND INDEMNITIES
	 
	13.1	 	Definitions
	 
	 	 	In this Clause 13:
	 
	 	 	“Tax Credit” means a credit against, relief or remission for, or repayment of any Tax.
	 
	 	 	“Tax Payment” means an increased payment made by an Obligor to the Lender under Clause 13.2
(Tax gross-up) or a payment under Clause 13.3 (Tax indemnity).
	 
	13.2	 	Tax gross-up
	 
	(a)	 	Subject to Clause 24.2, each Obligor shall make all payments to be made by it under the
Finance Documents without any Tax Deduction unless a Tax Deduction is required by law.
	 
	(b)	 	Each Party shall promptly upon becoming aware that an Obligor must make a Tax Deduction (or
that there is any change in the rate or the basis of a Tax Deduction) notify the other Parties
accordingly.
	 
	(c)	 	If a Tax Deduction is required by law to be made by an Obligor except in relation to a Tax
described in Clause 13.3(b)(i) (Tax indemnity), the Obligor shall pay an additional amount
together with the payment so that, after making any Tax Deduction, the Lender receives an
amount equal to the payment which would have been due if no Tax Deduction had been required.
	 
	(d)	 	If an Obligor is required to make a Tax Deduction, that Obligor shall make that Tax Deduction
and any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction within the time allowed and in
the minimum amount required by law.
	 
	(e)	 	Within thirty days of making either a Tax Deduction or any payment required in connection
with that Tax Deduction, the Obligor making that Tax Deduction shall deliver to the Lender
evidence satisfactory to the Lender, acting reasonably, that the Tax Deduction has been made
or (as applicable) any appropriate payment paid to the relevant taxing authority.
	 
	13.3	 	Tax indemnity
	 
	(a)	 	Subject to Clause 24.2, the Original Borrower shall (within three Business Days of demand by
the Lender) pay to the Lender an amount equal to the loss, liability or Cost which the Lender
determines will be or has been (directly or indirectly) suffered for or on account of Tax by
the Lender in respect of a Finance Document or a transaction or payment under it.
	 
	(b)	 	Paragraph (a) above shall not apply:






	 	(i)	 	with respect to any Tax assessed on the Lender:






	 	(A)	 	under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Lender is
incorporated or, if different, the jurisdiction (or jurisdictions) in which
the Lender is treated as resident for tax purposes; or
	 
	 	(B)	 	under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Lender’s
Facility Office is located in respect of amounts received or receivable in
that jurisdiction,




page 26









 






	 	 	 	if that Tax is imposed on or calculated by reference to the net income received or
receivable (but not any sum deemed to be received or receivable) by the Lender, to
the extent the relevant loss, liability or Cost is compensated for by an increased
payment under Clause 13.2 (Tax gross-up); or






	(c)	 	The Lender, if making or intending to make a claim pursuant to paragraph (a) above shall
promptly notify the Original Borrower of the event which will give, or has given, rise to the
claim.
	 
	13.4	 	Tax Credit
	 
	 	 	If an Obligor makes a Tax Payment and the Lender determines in its absolute discretion
that:
	 
	(a)	 	a Tax Credit is attributable to that Tax Payment; and
	 
	(b)	 	the Lender has obtained, utilised and retained that Tax Credit,
	 
	 	 	subject to Clause 26.2 (Conduct of business by the Lender), the Lender shall pay an amount
to the Obligor which the Lender determines in its absolute discretion will leave it (after
that payment) in the same after-Tax position as it would have been in had the circumstances
not arisen which caused the Tax Payment to be required to be made by the Obligor.
	 
	13.5	 	Stamp duties and Taxes
	 
	 	 	The Original Borrower shall:
	 
	(a)	 	pay; and
	 
	(b)	 	within three Business Days of demand, indemnify the Lender against any Cost, loss or
liability that the Lender incurs in relation to,
	 
	 	 	all stamp duty, registration and other similar Taxes payable in respect of any Finance
Document.
	 
	13.6	 	Indirect Tax
	 
	(a)	 	All payments to be made by an Obligor under or in connection with any Finance Document have
been calculated without regard to Indirect Tax. If all or part of any such payment is the
consideration for a taxable supply or chargeable with Indirect Tax then, when the Obligor
makes the payment:






	 	(i)	 	it must pay to the Lender an additional amount equal to that payment (or
part) multiplied by the appropriate rate of Indirect Tax; and
	 
	 	(ii)	 	the Lender will promptly provide to the Obligor a tax invoice complying with
the relevant law relating to that Indirect Tax.






	(b)	 	Where a Finance Document requires an Obligor to reimburse the Lender for any Costs or
expenses, that Obligor shall also at the same time pay and indemnify the Lender against all
Indirect Tax incurred by the Lender in respect of the Costs or expenses save to the extent
that the Lender is entitled to repayment or credit in respect of the Indirect Tax. The Lender
will promptly provide to the Obligor a tax invoice complying with the relevant law relating to
that Indirect Tax.

	 	(ii)	 	an additional or increased cost; or
	 
	 	(iii)	 	a reduction of any amount due and payable under any Finance Document,

is attributable to the Lender having entered into the Commitment or funding or performing
its obligations under any Finance Document.






	14.2	 	Increased cost claims

	(c)	 	attributable to the wilful breach by the Lender or its Affiliates of any law or regulation.
	 
	15.	 	OTHER INDEMNITIES

or award given or made in relation to a Sum, has to be converted from the currency (the “First
Currency”) in which that Sum is payable into another currency (the “Second Currency”) for the
purpose of:










page 28









 












	 	(i)	 	making or filing a claim or proof against that Obligor; or
	 
	 	(ii)	 	obtaining or enforcing an order, judgment or award in relation to any

	15.2	 	Other indemnities
	 
	 	 	The Original Borrower shall (or shall procure that an Obligor will), within three Business

	18.1	 	Guarantee and indemnity
	 
	 	 	Each Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally jointly and severally:
	 
	(a)	 	guarantees to the Lender punctual performance by each Obligor of all that Obligor’s
obligations under the Finance Documents;
	 
	(b)	 	undertakes with the Lender that whenever an Obligor does not pay any amount when due under or
in connection with any Finance Document (or anything which would have been due if the Finance
Document or the amount was enforceable, valid and not illegal), that Guarantor shall
immediately on demand pay that amount as if it was the principal obligor; and
	 
	(c)	 	indemnifies the Lender immediately on demand against any Cost, loss or liability suffered by
the Lender:






	 	(i)	 	if an Obligor does not pay any amount when due under or in connection with
any Finance Document;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	if any obligation guaranteed by it (or anything which would have been an
obligation guaranteed by it if not unenforceable, invalid or illegal) is or becomes
unenforceable, invalid or illegal. The amount of the loss recovered under this
sub-paragraph shall be equal to the amount which the Lender would otherwise have been
entitled to recover;
	 
	 	(iii)	 	if any of its obligations under Clauses 18.1(a) (Guarantee and indemnity) or

The amount of the loss recovered under this sub-paragraph shall be equal to the amount
which the Lender would otherwise have been entitled to recover; or
	 
	 	(iv)	 	if the Lender is obliged or, acting reasonably, agrees to pay an amount to a
liquidator of an Insolvent person in connection with a payment by an Obligor (for
example, the Lender may have to, or agree to, pay interest on the amount).






	 	 	Each of paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) is a separate obligation. None is limited by reference
to the other.
	 
	18.2	 	Continuing guarantee
	 
	 	 	This guarantee and indemnity is a continuing guarantee and indemnity and will extend to the
ultimate balance of sums payable by any Obligor under the Finance Documents, regardless of
any intermediate payment or discharge in whole or in part.
	 
	18.3	 	Reinstatement
	 
	 	 	If any payment to or any discharge given by the Lender (whether in respect of the
obligations of any Obligor or any Security for those obligations or otherwise) is avoided
or reduced for any reason (including, without limitation, as a result of insolvency, breach
of fiduciary or statutory duties or any similar event):
	 
	(a)	 	the liability of each Obligor shall continue as if the payment, discharge, avoidance or
reduction had not occurred;










page 31









 












	(b)	 	the Lender shall be entitled to recover the value or amount of that Security or payment from
each Obligor, as if the payment, discharge, avoidance or reduction had not occurred, together
with any associated Costs; and
	 
	(c)	 	each Obligor shall do anything reasonably requested of it (including signing any document) to
reinstate any Security (including this guarantee and indemnity) held by the Lender from an
Obligor immediately before the payment, discharge, avoidance or reduction.
	 
	18.4	 	Waiver of defences
	 
	 	 	The obligations of each Guarantor under this Clause 18 will not be affected by an act,
omission, matter or thing which, but for this Clause, would reduce, release or prejudice
any of its obligations under this Clause 18 (without limitation and whether or not known to
it or the Lender) including:
	 
	(a)	 	any time, waiver or other concession or consent granted to, or composition with, any Obligor
or other person;
	 
	(b)	 	the release or resignation of any other Obligor or any other person;
	 
	(c)	 	any composition or arrangement with any creditor of any Obligor or other person;
	 
	(d)	 	the taking, variation, compromise, exchange, renewal or release of, or refusal or neglect to
perfect, execute, take up or enforce, any rights against, or Security over assets of, any
Obligor or other person or any non-presentation or non-observance of any formality or other
requirement in respect of any instrument or any failure to realise the full value of any
Security;
	 
	(e)	 	any incapacity or lack of power, authority or legal personality of or dissolution or change
in the members or status of any Obligor or any other person;
	 
	(f)	 	any amendment (however fundamental) or replacement of a Finance Document or any other
document or Security;
	 
	(g)	 	any unenforceability, illegality or invalidity of any obligation of any person under any
Finance Document or any other document or Security;
	 
	(h)	 	any set off, combination of accounts or counterclaim;
	 
	(i)	 	any insolvency or similar proceedings; or
	 
	(j)	 	this Agreement or any other Finance Document not being executed by or binding against any
other Obligor or any other party.
	 
	 	 	References in Clause 18.1 to obligations of any Obligor or amounts due will include what
would have been obligations or amounts due but for any of the above, as well as obligations
and amounts due which result from any of the above.
	 
	18.5	 	Immediate recourse
	 
	 	 	Each Guarantor waives any right it may have of first requiring the Lender (or any trustee
or agent on its behalf) to proceed against or enforce any other rights or Security or claim
payment from any person before claiming from that Guarantor under this Clause 18. This
waiver applies irrespective of any law or any provision of a Finance Document to the
contrary.










page 32









 












	18.6	 	Appropriations
	 
	 	 	Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Obligors under or in connection
with the Finance Documents have been irrevocably paid in full, the Lender (or any trustee
or agent on its behalf) may:
	 
	(a)	 	refrain from applying or enforcing any other moneys, Security or rights held or received by
the Lender (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) in respect of those amounts, or apply and
enforce the same in such manner and order as it sees fit (whether against those amounts or
otherwise) and no Guarantor shall be entitled to the benefit of the same; and
	 
	(b)	 	hold in an interest-bearing suspense account any moneys received from any Guarantor or on
account of any Guarantor’s liability under this Clause 18 for as long as it sees fit and need
not apply those moneys towards satisfying any amount due to it under or in connection with the
Finance Documents.
	 
	18.7	 	Deferral of Guarantors’ rights
	 
	 	 	Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Obligors under or in connection
with the Finance Documents have been irrevocably paid in full and unless the Lender
otherwise directs, no Guarantor will:
	 
	(a)	 	exercise any rights which it may have by reason of performance by it of its obligations under
the Finance Documents:






	 	(i)	 	to be indemnified by an Obligor or any other guarantor of, or provider of
Security for, any Obligor’s obligations under the Finance Documents;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	to claim any contribution from any other guarantor or provider of any
Security for any Obligor’s obligations under the Finance Documents; and/or

or otherwise) of any rights of the Lender under the Finance Documents or of any other
guarantee or Security taken pursuant to, or in connection with, the Finance Documents
by the Lender;






	(b)	 	in any form of administration of an Obligor (including liquidation, winding up, bankruptcy,
voluntary administration, dissolution or receivership or any analogous process) prove for or
claim, or exercise any vote or other rights in respect of, any indebtedness of any nature owed
to it by an Obligor; or
	 
	(c)	 	reduce its liability under this guarantee or indemnity by claiming that it or another Obligor
or any other person has a right of set-off or counterclaim or any other right against the
Lender.
	 
	18.8	 	No set-off against assignees
	 
	 	 	If the Lender assigns or otherwise deals with its rights under the Finance Documents, no
Guarantor shall claim against any assignee (or any other person who has an interest in this
guarantee and indemnity) any right of set-off or counterclaim or any other right the
Guarantor has against the Lender.
	 
	18.9	 	Additional Security
	 
	 	 	This guarantee and indemnity is in addition to and is not in any way prejudiced by any
other guarantee and indemnity or Security now or subsequently held by the Lender.

SECTION 9

CHANGES TO PARTIES





	24.	 	CHANGES TO THE LENDER
	 
	24.1	 	Assignments and transfers by the Lender
	 
	 	 	Subject to this Clause 24, the Lender (the “Existing Lender”) may:
	 
	(a)	 	assign any of its rights; or
	 
	(b)	 	transfer by novation any of its rights and obligations,
	 
	 	 	under the Finance Documents to another bank or financial institution or to a trust, fund or
other entity which is regularly engaged in or established for the purpose of making,
purchasing or investing in loans, Securities or other financial assets (including credit
derivatives) (the “New Lender”).
	 
	24.2	 	Conditions of assignment or transfer
	 
	(a)	 	The consent of the Original Borrower is required for an assignment or transfer by the Lender,
unless:






	 	(i)	 	the assignment or transfer is to an Affiliate of the Lender;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	an Event of Default is continuing; or
	 
	 	(iii)	 	the assignment or transfer is to a securitisation or funding vehicle where
the Lender remains lender of record.






	(b)	 	The consent of the Original Borrower to an assignment or transfer must not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed or subject to unreasonable conditions. The Original Borrower will be
deemed to have given its consent five Business Days after the Lender has requested it unless
consent is expressly refused by the Original Borrower within that time.
	 
	(c)	 	Where the Lender assigns rights but does not transfer by novation obligations, then for the
purposes of Clause 28, any amount received or recovered by the assignee will be taken to be
received by that Lender.
	 
	(d)	 	An assignment or transfer to a proposed New Lender will not be effective until the Existing
Lender has carried out all necessary “know your customer” or other similar checks in relation
to the New Lender under all applicable laws and regulations. On completion of those checks,
the Existing Lender shall promptly notify the New Lender.
	 
	(e)	 	A transfer will only be effective if the procedure set out in Clause 24.4 (Procedure for
transfer) is complied with.
	 
	(f)	 	If:






	 	(i)	 	the Lender assigns or transfers any of its rights or obligations under the
Finance Documents or changes its Facility Office; and
	 
	 	(ii)	 	as a result of circumstances existing at the date the assignment, transfer or
change occurs, an Obligor would be obliged to make a payment to the New Lender or
Lender acting through its new Facility Office under Clause 13 (Tax gross-up and
indemnities) or Clause 14 (Increased Costs),





page 51









 











	 	 	then the New Lender or Lender acting through its new Facility Office is only entitled to
receive payment under those Clauses to the same extent as the Existing Lender or Lender
acting through its previous Facility Office would have been if the assignment, transfer or
change had not occurred.
	 
	(g)	 	A Lender may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under the Finance
Documents or change its Facility Office, if the New Lender or the Lender acting through its
new Facility Office would be entitled to exercise any rights under Clause 8.1 (Illegality) as
a result of circumstances existing at the date the assignment, transfer or change is proposed
to occur.
	 
	(h)	 	A Lender must bear its own Costs and expenses (including legal fees) in connection with any
such assignment or transfer.
	 
	24.3	 	Limitation of responsibility of Existing Lender
	 
	(a)	 	Unless expressly agreed to the contrary, an Existing Lender makes no representation or
warranty and assumes no responsibility to a New Lender for:






	 	(i)	 	the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of the
Finance Documents or any other documents;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	the financial condition of any Transaction Party or any other person;
	 
	 	(iii)	 	the performance and observance by any Transaction Party or any other person
of its obligations under the Finance Documents or any other documents; or
	 
	 	(iv)	 	the accuracy of any statements (whether written or oral) made in or in
connection with any Finance Document or any other document,
	 
	 	 	 	and any representations or warranties implied by law are excluded.






	(b)	 	Each New Lender confirms to the Existing Lender that it:






	 	(i)	 	has made (and shall continue to make) its own independent investigation and
assessment of the financial condition and affairs of each Transaction Party and its
related entities and any other person in connection with its participation in this
Agreement and has not relied exclusively on any information provided to it by the
Existing Lender in connection with any Finance Document; and
	 
	 	(ii)	 	will continue to make its own independent appraisal of the creditworthiness
of each Transaction Party and its related entities and any other person whilst any
amount is or may be outstanding under the Finance Documents or any Commitment is in
force.






	(c)	 	Nothing in any Finance Document obliges the Existing Lender to:






	 	(i)	 	accept a re-transfer from a New Lender of any of the rights and obligations
assigned or transferred under this Clause 24; or
	 
	 	(ii)	 	support any losses directly or indirectly incurred by the New Lender by
reason of the non-performance by any Transaction Party or any other person of its
obligations under the Finance Documents or otherwise.






	24.4	 	Procedure for transfer
	 
	(a)	 	Subject to the conditions set out in Clause 24.2 (Conditions of assignment or transfer) a
transfer is effected in accordance with paragraph (c) below when the Original Borrower

Lender and the New Lender.

Transfer Certificate on its behalf.
	 
	(c)	 	On the Transfer Date:






	 	(i)	 	to the extent that in the Transfer Certificate the Existing Lender seeks to
transfer by novation its rights and obligations under this Agreement each of the
Obligors and the Existing Lender shall be released from further obligations towards
one another under this Agreement and their respective rights against one another shall
be cancelled (being the “Discharged Rights and Obligations”);
	 
	 	(ii)	 	each of the Obligors and the New Lender shall assume obligations towards one
another and/or acquire rights against one another which differ from the Discharged
Rights and Obligations only insofar as that Obligor and the New Lender have assumed
and/or acquired the same in place of that Obligor and the Existing Lender; and
	 
	 	(iii)	 	the New Lender shall become a Party as a “Lender”.






	24.5	 	Disclosure of information
	 
	 	 	The Lender may disclose to any of its Affiliates and any other person:
	 
	(a)	 	to (or through) whom the Lender assigns or transfers (or may potentially assign or transfer)
all or any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement;

information is required to be disclosed by any applicable law or regulation,
	 
	 	 	any information about any Transaction Party, the Group and the Finance Documents as the
Lender shall consider appropriate if, in relation to paragraphs (a), (b) and (in the case
of disclosure to a Party’s Affiliates) (e), the person to whom the information is to be
given has entered into a Confidentiality Undertaking.

SECTION 11

ADMINISTRATION





	26.	 	THE LENDER
	 
	26.1	 	Deduction from amounts payable to the Lender
	 
	 	 	If any Obligor owes an amount to the Lender under the Finance Documents the Lender may,
after giving notice to that Obligor, deduct an amount not exceeding that amount from any
payments to that Obligor which the Lender would otherwise be obliged to make under the
Finance Documents and apply the amount deducted in or towards satisfaction of the amount
owed. For the purposes of the Finance Documents that Obligor shall be regarded as having
received any amount so deducted.
	 
	26.2	 	Conduct of business by the Lender




No provision of this Agreement will:





	(a)	 	interfere with the right of the Lender to arrange its affairs (tax or otherwise) in whatever
manner it thinks fit;
	 
	(b)	 	oblige the Lender to investigate or claim any credit, relief, remission or repayment
available to it or the extent, order and manner of any claim; or
	 
	(c)	 	oblige the Lender to disclose any information relating to its affairs (tax or otherwise) or
any computations in respect of Tax.
	 
	26.3	 	Payments to the Lender
	 
	(a)	 	On each date on which an Obligor is required to make a payment under a Finance Document, that
Obligor shall make the same available to the Lender (unless a contrary indication appears in a
Finance Document) for value on the due date at the time and in such funds specified by the
Lender as being customary at the time for settlement of transactions in the relevant currency
in the place of payment.
	 
	(b)	 	Payment shall be made to such account at the city of the Lender with such bank as the Lender
specifies.
	 
	26.4	 	Partial payments
	 
	(a)	 	If the Lender receives a payment that is insufficient to discharge all the amounts then due
and payable by an Obligor under the Finance Documents, the Lender shall apply that payment
towards the obligations of that Obligor under the Finance Documents in the following order:






	 	(i)	 	first, in or towards payment of any unpaid fees, Costs and expenses of the
Lender under the Finance Documents;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	secondly, in or towards payment of any accrued interest, fees or commission
due but unpaid under this Agreement;
	 
	 	(iii)	 	thirdly, in or towards payment of any principal due but unpaid under this
Agreement; and
	 
	 	(iv)	 	fourthly, in or towards payment of any other sum due but unpaid under the
Finance Documents.






	(b)	 	Paragraph (a) above will override any appropriation made by an Obligor.




page 56 









 












	26.5	 	No set-off by Obligors
	 
	 	 	All payments to be made by an Obligor under the Finance Documents shall be calculated and
be made without (and free and clear of any deduction for) set-off or counterclaim.
	 
	26.6	 	Business Days
	 
	(a)	 	Any payment which is due to be made on a day that is not a Business Day shall be made on the
next Business Day in the same calendar month (if there is one) or the preceding Business Day
(if there is not).
	 
	(b)	 	During any extension of the due date for payment of any principal or an Unpaid Sum under this
Agreement interest is payable on the principal or the Unpaid Sum at the rate payable on the
original due date.
	 
	26.7	 	Currency of account
	 
	(a)	 	Subject to paragraphs (b) and (c) below, the Australian dollar is the currency of account and
payment for any sum due from an Obligor under any Finance Document.
	 
	(b)	 	Each payment in respect of Costs, expenses or Taxes shall be made in the currency in which
the Costs, expenses or Taxes are incurred.
	 
	(c)	 	Any amount expressed to be payable in a currency other than Australian dollars shall be paid
in that other currency.
	 
	27.	 	SET-OFF
	 
	 	 	If a Default is continuing, the Lender may, but need not, set off any matured obligation
due from an Obligor under the Finance Documents (to the extent beneficially owned by the
Lender) against any matured obligation owed by the Lender to that Obligor (whether or not
matured), regardless of the place of payment, booking branch or currency of either
obligation. If the obligations are in different currencies, the Lender may convert either
obligation at a market rate of exchange in its usual course of business for the purpose of
the set-off.

	28.6	 	Original Borrower and Obligors




Each Obligor irrevocably authorises the Original Borrower to give and receive notices and
communications on its behalf (including Utilisation Requests and Selection Notices). Other Parties

Obligor, and the Obligor is bound by it.





	29.	 	CALCULATIONS AND CERTIFICATES
	 
	29.1	 	Accounts




In any litigation or arbitration proceedings arising out of or in connection with a Finance
Document, the entries made in the accounts maintained by the Lender are sufficient evidence of the

Any certification or determination by the Lender of an exchange rate, a rate of interest or amount
under Clause 11 (Break Costs), Clause 13 (Tax gross up and indemnities) or Clause 14 (Increased

matters to which it relates unless the contrary is proved.

Any interest, commission or fee accruing under a Finance Document will accrue from day to day and
is calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a year of 365 days.





	30.	 	PARTIAL INVALIDITY




If, at any time, any provision of the Finance Documents is or becomes illegal, invalid or
unenforceable in any respect under any law of any jurisdiction, neither the legality, validity or
enforceability of the remaining provisions nor the legality, validity or enforceability of such
provision under the law of any other jurisdiction will in any way be affected or impaired.





	31.	 	REMEDIES AND WAIVERS




No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Lender, any right or remedy
under the Finance Documents shall operate as a waiver, nor shall any single or partial exercise of
any right or remedy prevent any further or other exercise or the exercise of any other right or
remedy. The rights and remedies provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any
rights or remedies provided by law.





	32.	 	AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS




Any term of the Finance Documents may be amended or waived only in writing with the consent of the
Lender and the Obligors and any such amendment or waiver will be binding on all Parties.





	33.	 	COUNTERPARTS




Each Finance Document may be executed in any number of counterparts, and this has the same effect
as if the signatures on the counterparts were on a single copy of the Finance Document.





	34.	 	GENERAL
	 
	34.1	 	Application to Finance Documents




If anything in this Clause 34 is inconsistent with a provision in another Finance Document, then
the provision in the other Finance Document prevails to the extent of the inconsistency for the
purposes of that Finance Document.







page 59 









 









	34.2	 	Consents and waivers




Each Obligor shall comply with all conditions in any consent or waiver the Lender gives under or in
connection with a Finance Document.





	34.3	 	Discretion in exercising rights




Unless the contrary intention appears, a party may exercise a right or remedy or give or refuse its
consent under or in connection with a Finance Document in any way it considers appropriate
(including by imposing conditions).





	34.4	 	No liability for loss




The Lender is not liable to any Obligor for any loss, liability or Costs caused by the exercise or
attempted exercise of, or failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, a right or remedy under or
in connection with a Finance Document other than any loss, liability or Costs which is attributable
to the gross negligence, fraud or wilful misconduct of the Lender.





	34.5	 	Conflict of interest




The Lender may exercise its rights or remedies under or in connection with a Finance Document even
if this involves a conflict of duty or the Lender has a personal interest in their exercise.





	34.6	 	Rights and obligations are unaffected




Rights given to the Lender under or in connection with a Finance Document, and an Obligor’s
obligations under it are not affected by any act or omission or any other thing which might
otherwise affect them under law or otherwise.





	34.7	 	Inconsistent law




To the extent permitted by law, each Finance Document prevails to the extent it is inconsistent
with any law.





	34.8	 	Supervening law




Any present or future law which varies the obligations of an Obligor under or in connection with a
Finance Document with the result that the Lender’s rights or remedies are adversely affected
(including by way of delay or postponement) is excluded except to the extent that its exclusion is
prohibited or rendered ineffective by law.





	34.9	 	Further steps




Each Obligor shall promptly do anything the Lender reasonably asks (such as obtaining consents,
signing and producing documents and getting documents completed and signed):





	(a)	 	to enable the Lender to exercise its rights under or in connection with any Finance Document;
	 
	(b)	 	to bind the Transaction Party and any other person intended to be bound under any Finance
Document; or
	 
	(c)	 	to enable the Lender to register any power of attorney in any Finance Document or any similar
power.
	 
	35.	 	INDEMNITIES AND REIMBURSEMENT




All indemnities and reimbursement obligations in each Finance Document are continuing and survive
termination of the Finance Document, repayment of the Loans and cancellation or expiry of the
Commitment.





	36.	 	ACKNOWLEDGEMENT




Except as expressly set out in the Finance Documents none of the Asia Pacific Loan Market
Association, the Lender or any of their advisers have given any representation or warranty or




page 60 









 




other assurance to any Obligor in relation to the Finance Documents and the transactions they
contemplate, including as to tax or other effects. The Obligors have not relied on any of them or
on any conduct (including any recommendation) by any of them. The Obligors have obtained their own
tax and legal advice.



The Code of Banking Practice does not apply to the Finance Documents and the transactions under
them.

SECTION 12

GOVERNING LAW AND ENFORCEMENT





	37.	 	GOVERNING LAW




This Agreement is governed by New South Wales law.





	38.	 	ENFORCEMENT
	 
	38.1	 	Jurisdiction
	 
	(a)	 	The courts having jurisdiction in New South Wales have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any
dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement (including a dispute regarding the
existence, validity or termination of this Agreement) (a “Dispute”).
	 
	(b)	 	The Parties agree that those courts are the most appropriate and convenient courts to settle
Disputes and accordingly no Party will argue to the contrary.
	 
	(c)	 	Each Party irrevocably waives any objection it may now or in the future have to the venue of
any proceedings, and any claim it may now or in the future have that any proceedings have been
brought in an inconvenient forum, where that venue falls within paragraph (a).
	 
	(d)	 	This Clause 38.1.1 is for the benefit of the Lender only. As a result, the Lender shall not
be prevented from taking proceedings relating to a Dispute in any other courts with
jurisdiction. To the extent allowed by law, the Lender may take concurrent proceedings in any
number of jurisdictions.
	 
	38.2	 	Service of process
	 
	 	 	Without prejudice to any other mode of service allowed under any relevant law, each Obligor
(other than an Obligor incorporated in Australia):
	 
	(a)	 	irrevocably appoints the Original Borrower as its agent for service of process in relation to
any proceedings in connection with any Finance Document; and
	 
	(b)	 	agrees that failure by a process agent to notify the relevant Obligor of the process will not
invalidate the proceedings concerned.
	 
	 	 	Each party expressly agrees and consents to the provisions of this Clause 38.




This Agreement has been entered into on the date stated at the beginning of this Agreement.
