	 	 	The parties acknowledge that each Lender contracts with the Transaction Parties on an
independent and individual basis and accordingly:

	(b)	 	the obligations and rights of the Lenders under each Transaction Document are several;
	 
	(c)	 	failure of a Lender to perform its obligations under a Transaction Document does not relieve
any other Lender from any of its obligations under a Transaction Document;

Document; and
	 
	(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

3 Representations and warranties






	 	 	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 Agreement or Hedging Agreement provided by the First Lender (other than
those terms related to pricing (including fees and margins), facility limits and repayment
dates and, in the case of hedging, pricing and individual transaction amounts) are or become
less favourable to the First Lender in any material respect than the terms of an Other Bank
Document (including, without limitation, the granting of an Encumbrance to any party other
than pursuant to an Encumbrance permitted by the terms of the First Lender’s Facility or a
change to any Guarantor related threshold under clause 4.18).
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.

conceded or compromised in whole or in part,
	 
	 	 	 	the liability of each Guarantor under this clause 7 and any Power is the same as
if:
	 
	 	(3)	 	that payment, conveyance, transfer or transaction (or the void, voidable or

whether:

obligations of a surety, then each Guarantor waives each and every defence or right that it
may now or hereafter have with respect to such obligations as a result of or related to its
status as a surety. Such waiver shall be effective regardless of whether such defences or
rights arise under legal or equitable principles and regardless of the jurisdiction whose laws

than any demand specifically required to be given, or notice required to be issued,

	 	(3)	 	whether or not the Lender has given notice to any Transaction Party or any

8 German Guarantors





	7.16	 	Judgments
	 
	 	 	A final judgment obtained against a relevant Transaction Party is conclusive as
against each Guarantor.
	 
	7.17	 	Limitation of Liability
	 
	(a)	 	If any court of competent jurisdiction determines that all or any portion of a Guarantor’s
guarantee obligations under this clause 7 are subject to avoidance under any applicable
Fraudulent Transfer Law, then such guarantee obligations, notwithstanding any other provision
of this clause 7, shall be limited to the maximum amount that would not be subject to such
avoidance. For the purposes of determining the maximum non-avoidable amount, each Guarantor’s
assets will include, without limitation, its rights of indemnification and contribution
against all other Guarantors under clause 7.17(b) or applicable law. Fraudulent Transfer Laws
means Section 548 of the United States Bankruptcy Code and any laws of any other jurisdiction
(including any state of the United States) allowing the avoidance of constructive fraudulent
conveyances.
	 
	(b)	 	Each Guarantor (for the purposes of this clause 7.17(b), a Contributing Party) agrees that,
in the event any other Guarantor makes a payment in respect of its guarantee obligations under
this clause 7, the Contributing Party shall indemnify such other Guarantor in an amount equal
to the amount of such payment multiplied by a fraction whose numerator is the Contributing
Party’s net worth and whose denominator is the aggregate net worth of all the Guarantors. In
each case, the net worth of a Contributing Party and each other Guarantor will be determined
as of the date it became a Guarantor. This clause 7.17(b) is subject to, and shall not
affect, any Guarantor’s rights or obligations under clause 7.13.
	 
	(c)	 	This clause 7.17 applies only to Guarantors which are subject to any order, filing or
proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States of America and then only to the
extent that a Lender and Sims agree that it is to apply in respect of a Guarantor under a
Lender’s Transaction Documents.
	 
	8	 	German Guarantors
	 
	(a)	 	To the extent that any obligation under this deed, in particular (but not exclusively) the
guarantee and/or the indemnity created under clause 7 is undertaken and/or granted by a German
Guarantor (a German Guarantee) and the German Guarantee guarantees to a Lender amounts, or
creates obligations to a Lender (the Relevant Lender) for 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 direct subsidiaries 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 this deed 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





Common Terms Deed

9 Payments





	 	 	 	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) D
and E 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 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 and also if the
German Guarantee is granted by a Guarantor incorporated in Germany as an open trading company
(Offene Handelsgesellschaft) in relation to a limited liability company as shareholder
(Komplementär) of such Guarantor.

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 of any Tax in respect of
each additional amount) that is equal to the full amount it would have received if a deduction
or withholding or payment of Tax had not been made.
	 
	9.5	 	Taxation deduction procedures
	 
	 	 	If clause 9.4(a) applies:

attributable to that additional payment; and

	9.7	 	Tax affairs

	10	 	Increased costs and illegality

	(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
	 
	 	(3)	 	in any other way reduces the effective return to the 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,
	 
	 	 	 	(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 of any law by the Lender claiming the
benefit of the clause 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

demand, cancel the commitment of that Lender and prepay its Outstanding Moneys in full.

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

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 clause 10.2 to the extent it considers necessary to
avoid the illegality.






	(b)	 	A notice under clause 10.2(a)(2) is irrevocable and the Borrowers must, on the repayment date

period of 90 days to make the relevant financial accommodation available by some alternative
means including changing its Lending Office or making the financial accommodation available
through a Related Body Corporate provided that nothing in this clause 10.2 will oblige the
Lender to incur any costs or expenses or take any action or refrain from taking any action
where, in the opinion of the Lender, the taking of that action or the refraining from taking
that action is impractical, may be prejudicial to the Lender or is contrary to the Lender’s
policies.

	11.1	 	General indemnity
	 
	(a)	 	Each Borrower indemnifies each Lender against any Loss which that Lender (whether acting

	11.3	 	Conversion of currencies
	 
	 	 	In making any currency conversion under clause 11.2, the Lender or Attorney may

of the Transaction Party, despite:






	 	(1)	 	any settlement of account; or
	 
	 	(2)	 	the occurrence of any other thing,
	 
	 	 	 	and remains in full force and effect until the Outstanding Moneys are fully and
finally repaid.






	(b)	 	Each indemnity of a Transaction Party in a Transaction Document is an additional, separate
and independent obligation of a Transaction Party and no one indemnity limits the general
nature of any other indemnity.
	 
	(c)	 	Each indemnity of a Transaction Party in a Transaction Document survives the termination of
any Transaction Document.

is provided (excluding the date on which Initial Notice is given) (or such other period as
agreed to in writing between Sims and the Lender), Sims and the Lender must exchange written
acknowledgement of such resolution prior to the end of the ten (10) Business Day period.
	 
	(d)	 	Once a Notification of an Issue is given in accordance with clause 17.3(b), a Dispute is
taken to have arisen. If no Notification is given in accordance with clause 17.3(b) or the
Issue is resolved and written acknowledgement has been 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 apply as a result of the failure of either Sims or the Lender to
give a Notification, the matter or thing asserted by either Sims or the Lender which gave rise
to the Issue will be disregarded.
	 
	(e)	 	If Sims and the Lender do not resolve a Dispute within ten (10) Business Days after the
Notification is given (excluding the date on which the Notification is given) (or such other
period as agreed to in writing between Sims and the Lender) either Sims or the Lender may
submit the Dispute to expert determination.
	 
	(f)	 	If the Dispute is to be referred to expert determination under clause 17.3(e):






	 	(1)	 	both Sims and the Lender may nominate an independent expert with relevant
expertise in accounting, legal and commercial matters to act as expert and submit
this nomination to the other within the earlier 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);






	 	(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;

17 General





	 	(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






	 	(8)	 	if, for any reason:






	 	(A)	 	an expert is not appointed within
five (5) Business Days of the expert appointment decision being
referred to the President of the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of Australia (excluding the date on which the matter
is referred); or
	 
	 	(B)	 	the appointed expert provides Sims
and the Lender with written confirmation that the expert is unable
to reach a decision in relation to the Dispute,






	 	 	 	the provisions of this clause 17.3 will no longer apply to the Dispute
and each of Sims and the Lender may:






	 	(C)	 	commence court proceedings; and/or
	 
	 	(D)	 	pursue any other remedies that are
available to the relevant party,






	 	 	 	in relation to the matter or thing forming the subject matter of the
Dispute.






	(g)	 	If a Dispute or Issue first arises prior to the end of a Calculation Period and is not
resolved in accordance with this clause 17.3 by the end of that Calculation Period, Sims and
the Lender agree to use reasonable endeavours to resolve the Dispute or Issue as soon as
possible following the relevant Calculation Date and in any event no later than 30 Business
Days following Sims and the Lender first becoming aware of the Issue or

the provisions of this clause 17.3, or the termination of the dispute resolution process as
