	 	(c)	 	If any of the Equipment:






	 	(i)	 	has not been returned to Westpac within 14 days of the
termination or expiry of this Lease; or
	 
	 	(ii)	 	is returned to Westpac, but in Westpac’s opinion, it is not
able to sell it within a reasonable time,






	 	 	 	then the value of that Equipment will be taken to be nil. Westpac will be taken to
have disposed of that Equipment for no consideration.
	 
	 	(d)	 	The Lessee must pay Westpac on demand the amount of all costs and expenses
associated with any attempted sale of the Equipment under this Clause and any other
amount owing by the Lessee to Westpac.
	 
	 	(e)	 	Unless Westpac specifies a longer period, three months from return will be a
reasonable time for the purposes of this paragraph.






	9.6	 	(Essential terms):






	 	(a)	 	The Lessee acknowledges that the following are essential terms of this Lease:






	 	(i)	 	the Lessee paying punctually when due all moneys payable by it
under this Lease;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	the Lessee duly and punctually complying with its obligations
under Schedule 2 and under Clauses 4.4, 5.1, 6.1, 6.3, 6.4, 6.5, 6.7, 6.8 and
9.2;
	 
	 	(iii)	 	the representations and warranties by the Lessee in this
Lease (including Schedule 2); and
	 
	 	(iv)	 	if the Lessee fails to comply with any of its obligations
under this Lease (other than an obligation to pay moneys or an obligation
referred to in paragraph (ii)), the Lessee complying with that obligation or
remedying that failure to Westpac’s satisfaction within 10 days of the earlier
of notice from Westpac requiring it to comply with or remedy the same and the
Lessee becoming aware of the failure to comply.






	 	(b)	 	Any breach of any of these essential terms will constitute a repudiation of
this Lease by the Lessee entitling Westpac to exercise its rights under or in
connection with this Lease (including the right to terminate this Lease and to recover
the moneys stipulated in Clause 9.2).






	10.	 	GENERAL
	 
	10.1	 	(Application of money — set off): If the Lessee does not pay an amount when due, Westpac
may apply any money in any of the Lessee’s accounts (whether or not matured) in payment of
any amount payable by the Lessee under this Lease, but need not do so. For this purpose
Westpac may convert currencies using its normal procedures.
	 
	10.2	 	(Assignments): Westpac may assign this Lease or any of its rights under it with the consent
of the Lessee, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. The Lessee may not assign it.
	 
	 	 	Westpac may, without having to obtain the consent of the Lessee, assign, transfer,
sub-participate or otherwise deal with all or any part of its rights under the Bank
Documents to a trustee, company or other entity which is established for the purposes of
securitisation, or a funding vehicle for Westpac or its related entities.
	 
	 	 	If an Event of Default is subsisting, the Lessee will be taken to have consented to any
transfer or assignment made by Westpac.




32









 











Morobe
Consolidated Goldfields Limited — Master Lease Agreement





	 	 	Despite any other provision of any Bank Document, Westpac may at any time and from time to
time novate all of its rights and obligations under any Bank Document to any company which
is a subsidiary of Westpac, or Westpac Banking Corporation or a subsidiary of Westpac
Banking Corporation or to any permitted assignee under the preceding two paragraphs. By its
execution of this Agreement, the Lessee irrevocably appoints Westpac as its agent to
execute on the Lessee’s behalf all documents necessary or in Westpac’s opinion desirable to
effect that novation.
	 
	10.3	 	(Rights and powers separate):






	 	(a)	 	Westpac can, but need not, do anything under this Lease at once or after a time
or more than once.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Westpac can exercise all its other rights and powers it has under law even if
they overlap with those in this Lease.
	 
	 	(c)	 	If Westpac does not do something when it is able to, that does not mean it is
giving up that right and cannot do it later.






	10.4	 	(Power of attorney): The Lessee appoints Westpac as its attorney. Westpac as attorney may do
everything which ought to be done by the Lessee under or in connection with this Lease or
which Westpac can do under this Lease or any law. Westpac may sub-delegate this power to any
Authorised Officer of Westpac. The Lessee may not revoke this power.
	 
	10.5	 	(Remedy): If the Lessee fails to comply with this Lease, Westpac may do anything to remedy
the breach but need not do so.
	 
	10.6	 	(Determination or certificate): Any determination by Westpac or certificate by
an Authorised Officer of Westpac will be sufficient evidence of the matter stated in it unless
the contrary is proved.
	 
	10.7	 	(Cost): The Lessee will perform its obligations under this Lease at the Lessee’s cost.
	 
	10.8	 	(Severability): Any term of this Lease which is prohibited or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction will, in that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of the prohibition or
unenforceability. That will not invalidate the remaining terms of this Lease. It will not
affect that term in any other jurisdiction.
	 
	10.9	 	(Yield protection):






	 	(i)	 	Whenever Westpac determines that a Change in Law (as defined below) has the
effect of increasing its costs of funding or maintaining the Lease, or reducing its
return or amounts received in respect of the Lease then it will promptly notify the
Lessee, and the Lessee must pay Westpac the amount Westpac certifies is necessary to
compensate it. That certificate will include an outline of the calculation, and will
be conclusive and bind the Lessee in the absence of manifest error.
	 
	 	(ii)	 	If the Lessee so requests, Westpac will negotiate in good faith with a view
to finding a means of minimising the effect of the Change in Law, but it is not a
defence that the effect could have been avoided or minimised.
	 
	 	(iii)	 	A “Change in Law” is the introduction of, or a change in, any law, official
directive, ruling or request or a change in its interpretation. If it does not have
the force of law, it must be one with which responsible banks would comply. It
includes any occurrence which is a Change in Law as described above and which relates
to capital adequacy, special deposit, liquidity, reserve, prime assets, tax or
prudential requirements.






	10.10	 	(Notices):






	 	(a)	 	Any notice, demand, statement, certificate or other communication by Westpac
may be given by any Authorised Officer or any attorney authorised to do so.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Notices must be in writing, may be sent by facsimile, post or any other means
to the address or number set out in the Details Schedule or any other address or
number notified to the sender by the recipient.

Morobe
Consolidated Goldfields Limited — Master Lease Agreement





	 	(c)	 	Notices will be taken to have been given, if delivered or left at that
address on the date on which it is delivered or left.






	10.11	 	(Governing law and jurisdiction): This Lease is governed by the laws of New South Wales. The
parties submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts with jurisdiction there.
	 
	10.12	 	(Confirmation):






	 	(a)	 	The Lessee confirms that it has not entered into this Lease relying on, or as a
result of, any statement or conduct of any kind of or on behalf of Westpac, or Westpac
Banking Corporation or any related body corporate of either of them (including any
advice, warranty, representation or undertaking). In particular, it has obtained its
own tax advice.
	 
	 	(b)	 	The Lessee acknowledges that none of Westpac, Westpac Banking Corporation and
any related body corporate of Westpac or Westpac Banking Corporation is obliged to do
anything (including disclose anything or give advice), except as expressly set out in
this Lease.

	23.1.27.1.2	 	the resources of the Borrower which are charged on a first ranking basis by the
Security (taking into account the Borrower’s historic and probable future resource
conversion factors),

under the Project Documents or this Agreement and the Borrower does not address the
concerns of the Lender in respect of the shortfall to the Lender’s satisfaction
(acting reasonably) within 30 (thirty) days of receiving notice of the Lender’s
opinion or such longer period as the Parties may agree in writing.

24 TERMINATION





	Forthwith upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or Potential Event of Default and at any
time thereafter, if such event is continuing, the Lender shall be entitled, without prejudice to
any other rights which the Lender might have, by notice to the Borrower issued by the Lender, to
–






	24.1	 	declare any amounts available but undrawn under the Facility automatically cancelled
and to declare that no further Advances be made available for draw down under such Facility;
and/or
	 
	24.2	 	declare that the obligations of the Lender in terms of this Agreement shall be cancelled
forthwith, whereupon the same shall be so cancelled; and/or
	 
	24.3	 	accelerate and declare all amounts owing in terms of this Agreement immediately due and
payable, notwithstanding that such amounts may not otherwise have been due and payable,
whereupon the same shall become immediately due and payable, including fees, penalties, costs

such Event of Default from the Borrower in terms of this Agreement; and/or







 









 





Page 70











	24.5	 	enforce all or any of the Borrower’s rights under the Project Documents or Finance
Documents (including, without limitation, any right of the Borrower to terminate any of
these documents or agreements), for which purpose the Borrower irrevocably appoints the
Lender as its agent to perform all acts and to sign all documents and all Authorisations
on its behalf necessary to enforce such rights; and/or






	 	24.5.1	 	take legal action to take-over, perfect, attach, realise or sell any
Security taken or referred to in this Agreement in accordance with Applicable
Law; and/or






	24.6	 	set off any obligation (whether or not mature) owed by the Borrower under this Agreement
against any other obligation (whether or not mature) owed by the Lender to the Borrower,
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 for the purpose of the set-off. If either obligation is unliquidated or
unascertained, the Lender may set off an amount estimated by it in good faith to be the amount
of that obligation.






	25	 	APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS AFTER AN EVENT OF DEFAULT AND NON-CANCELLATION






	25.1	 	Should this Agreement, notwithstanding the occurrence of an Event of Default, not be
cancelled, and should the Lender in the exercise of any
of its rights under clause 24 of this Agreement be receiving periodic payments or
Instalments from the Borrower, the Lender or any person nominated by the Lender shall
apply the payments received in the following order –






	 	25.1.1	 	firstly, to pay Project Costs;
	 
	 	25.1.2	 	secondly, to make payment of all costs, charges, expenses and
liabilities (and all interest thereon) incurred by the Lender in connection

Page 71




	 	 	 	purporting to carry out its duties and exercising their powers and
discretions under the Finance Documents;






	 	25.1.3	 	thirdly, to make payment of interest and capital owed to the Lender (excluding
damages suffered by the Lender) in terms of this Agreement;
	 
	 	25.1.4	 	fourthly, to make payment of any damages suffered by the Lender; and
	 
	 	25.1.5	 	fifthly, to the extent that there is any surplus, to make a mandatory
prepayment of the Facility Outstandings.






	25.2	 	The Lender may in its discretion vary the order set out in the priority of payments
contained in this clause 25, which will override any appropriation made by the Borrower.





26 ARBITRATION





	26.1	 	Subject to clause 11, any claim, dispute or conflict between the Parties pursuant to this
Agreement will be referred for arbitration subject to the then prevailing Rules of Arbitration
of the International Chamber of Commerce.
	 
	26.2	 	The place of arbitration shall be Johannesburg. The arbitration shall be conducted in the
English language and any documents presented at such arbitration in a language other than
English shall be accompanied
by an English translation thereof. The arbitrators shall decide such dispute in
accordance with the laws of the Republic of South Africa, being the jurisdiction of
incorporation of the Lender’s holding company.
	 
	26.3	 	The arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding on all the parties and be effective as
it was made an order of any competent court at the instance of any Party. When the arbitrator
delivers his award he will do so by way of a written statement incorporating the findings of
fact determined by him and forming the reasons for the award as well as the full reason for
justifying the award.








 









 





Page 72





	26.4	 	Nothing herein contained will be deemed to prevent or prohibit a Party to the
arbitration from applying to the appropriate court for urgent relief or for judgment in
relation to a liquidated claim.





27 CONFLICTS





	 	 	In the case of any conflict or inconsistency between this Agreement (with respect to the
rights and obligations of the Parties prior to enforcement and the conditions in terms of
which Security interest may be enforced), and any Security Document, this Agreement shall
prevail.





28 ALLOCATION OF PAYMENTS





	 	 	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, the Lender will be entitled to
allocate all and any payments by the Borrower to any indebtedness of the Borrower to the
Lender in terms of this Agreement and the Borrower waives all and any rights that it may
have to name the debt in respect of which such payment is made.





29 INDEMNITY





	 	 	The Borrower hereby indemnifies the Lender against and undertakes to pay the Lender, on
presentation of an invoice from a third party or, where there is no invoice from a third
party, other evidence to the Borrower’s reasonable satisfaction, any cost, claim, loss,
damages, expense (including legal fees) or liability which any Lender may sustain or incur
as a result of -






	29.1	 	the application of Taxes in relation to any payment received or receivable (or any payment
deemed to be received or receivable) under the Finance Documents, subject to clause 22;
	 
	29.2	 	any breach by the Borrower in the performance of any of the obligations expressed to be
assumed by it in the Project Documents or Finance Documents; and

Approval or failure by the Borrower to obtain or comply with any Environmental Law or
Environmental Approval in relation to the Project.







 









 





Page 73









30    ILLEGALITY





	 	   	If at any time after the Signature Date it is or becomes unlawful in any jurisdiction, or
contrary to any lawful and binding request from or requirement of any Authority, for the
Lender to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement then the Lender shall promptly
after becoming aware of the same notify the Borrower by way of a certificate signed by a
director or manager of the Lender (or a person of an equivalent or higher level of
authority), whose appointment or designation it will not be necessary to prove, to that
effect and if the Lender so requires, the Borrower shall by not later than such date as the
Lender shall have specified (such date not being earlier than 3 (three) months after the

other amounts then due to the Lender under or in terms of this Agreement.

all such steps and to procure the doing of all such steps  as may be open to them and

conditions and/or import of this Agreement.





33    CURRENCY INDEMNITY





	33.1	 	If any sum due from the Borrower under a Finance Document (a “Sum”), or any order, judgment
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 –

Second Currency; and
	 
	 	33.1.4	 	the rate or rates of exchange available to the Borrower to effect such
conversion.






	33.2	 	The Borrower waives any right it may have in any jurisdiction to pay any amount under the
Finance Documents in a currency or currency unit other than that in which it is expressed to
be payable.
