(a)
    
    on the due date (or, if that is not a Business Day, on the next Business Day
unless that day falls in the following month or after the Termination Date for the
relevant Facility, in which case, on the previous Business Day);(b)
    
    at the time which is customary at the time for settlement of transactions in
the relevant currency in the place for payment (if any) specified in the relevant
Facility Agreement;(c)
    
    in the Due Currency in immediately available funds;(d)
    
    in full without set-off or counterclaim, and without any deduction in respect
of Taxes unless prohibited by law; and(e)
    
    to the applicable Creditor (or, in the case of a Creditor under a syndicated
facility, the facility agent on its behalf) by making payment to the account nominated
by the Creditor or by payment as the Creditor otherwise directs.
 If a Creditor directs an Obligor to pay a particular party or in a particular manner, the
Obligor is taken to have satisfied its obligation to the Creditor by paying in accordance
with the direction.An Obligor satisfies a payment obligation only when the Creditor (or, in the case of a
Creditor under a syndicated facility, the facility agent on its behalf) or the person to
whom it has directed payment actually receives the amount.4.2
    
    Currency of paymentEach Obligor waives any right it has in any jurisdiction to pay an amount other than in
Due Currency. However, if a Creditor receives an amount in a currency other than the Due
Currency:
 (a)
    
    it may convert the amount received into the Due Currency (even though it may
be necessary to convert through a third currency to do so) on the day and at such
rates (including spot rate, same day value rate or value tomorrow rate) as it
reasonably considers appropriate. It may deduct its usual Costs in connection with
the conversion; and(b)
    
    the Obligor satisfies its obligation to pay in the Due Currency only to the
extent of the amount of the Due Currency obtained from the conversion after deducting
the Costs of the conversion. Any surplus amount will be paid promptly by that
Creditor to the relevant Obligor.

    Withholding tax5.1
    
    Payments by ObligorIf a law requires an Obligor to deduct or withhold an amount in respect of Taxes (other
than Indirect Taxes) in respect of a payment under any Transaction Document such that a
Creditor (Indemnified Party) would not actually receive on the due date the full amount
provided for under the Transaction Document, then:

(a)
    
    the Obligor agrees to deduct the amount for such Taxes and any further
deduction applicable to any further payment due under paragraph (c) below;(b)
    
    the Obligor agrees to pay an amount equal to the amount deducted or withheld
to the relevant authority in accordance with applicable law; and(c)
    
    unless the Tax is an Excluded Tax, the amount payable is increased so that,
after making the deduction or withholding and further deductions or withholdings
applicable to additional amounts payable under this clause 5.1(c), the Indemnified
Party is entitled to receive (at the time the payment is due) the amount it would have
received if no deductions or withholdings had been required.
 5.2
    
    Payments by a facility agent to CreditorsIf a law requires a facility agent under a syndicated facility to deduct or withhold an
amount in respect of Taxes (other than Indirect Taxes) in respect of a payment by the
facility agent to a Creditor under a syndicated facility such that the Creditor would not
actually receive on the due date the full amount provided for under the syndicated
facility, then:
 (a)
    
    the facility agent must deduct or withhold the amount for such Taxes and any
further deduction or withholding applicable to any further payment due under
paragraph (c) below;(b)
    
    the facility agent must pay an amount equal to the amount deducted or
withheld to the relevant authority in accordance with applicable law and promptly give
the original receipts to the relevant Borrower;(c)
    
    unless the Tax is an Excluded Tax, the amount payable is increased so that,
after making the deduction or withholding and further deductions or withholdings
applicable to additional amounts payable under this clause 5.2(c), the Creditor is
entitled to receive (at the time the payment is due) the amount it would have received
if no deductions or withholdings had been required; and(d)
    
    unless the Tax is an Excluded Tax, the relevant Borrower must pay to the
facility agent an amount equal to any deduction or withholding which the facility
agent is required to make under this clause 5.2.
 5.3
    
    Tax creditIf and to the extent that any Creditor is able in its opinion to apply for or otherwise
take advantage of any offsetting tax credit, tax rebate or other similar tax benefit out
of or in conjunction with any deduction or withholding which gives rise to an obligation
on any Obligor to pay any additional amount pursuant to clause 5.1 or 5.2(d), that
Creditor shall:
 (a)
    
    give notice thereof to the Obligors Agent and take steps to obtain that
credit, rebate or benefit; and(b)
    
    to the extent that in its opinion it can do so without prejudice to the
retention of the credit, rebate or benefit, and upon receipt thereof, reimburse to the
Obligor such amount of the credit, rebate or benefit as that Creditor shall, in its
opinion (acting reasonably), have determined to

be attributable to the deduction or withholding. In complying with this clause,
no Creditor need disclose to any Obligor information about their tax affairs or
order them in a particular way.
 5.4
    
    Early repayment or redemptionWithout limiting the other provisions of this clause 5, if a Borrower is required to pay
any amount to a Creditor or facility agent under a syndicated facility under this
clause 5, that Borrower may elect to repay or redeem early all of that Creditors
outstandings under the applicable Facility which is affected by the event or events
referred to in clause 5.1 or 5.2.6
    
    Increased costs6.1
    
    CompensationThe relevant Borrower agrees to compensate a Creditor on 30 days written notice if the
Creditor determines that:
 (a)
    
    a Directive, or change in Directive, in either case applying for the first
time after the date of the relevant Facility Agreement;(b)
    
    a change in a Directives interpretation or administration by an authority
after the date of the relevant Facility Agreement; or(c)
    
    compliance by the Creditor or any of its Related Entities with any such
Directive, changed Directive or changed interpretation or administration,
 directly or indirectly:
 (i)
    
    increases the effective cost to that Creditor of making,
funding or maintaining the relevant Facility or its proportion of the
Facility; or(ii)
    
    reduces any amount paid or payable to, or received or
receivable by, that Creditor or the effective return to that Creditor in
connection with the relevant Facility.
 In this clause 6.1, a reference to a Directive does not include a Directive imposing or
changing the basis of a Tax on the overall net income of the Creditor.Compensation need not be in the form of a lump sum and may be demanded as a series of
payments.A notice under this clause may not claim compensation for an increase or reduction
suffered more than 180 days before the date of the notice, except to the extent that the
event or circumstance giving rise to the increased cost or reduction is that a Directive
is applied retrospectively and the notice was given by the Creditor no later than 120 days
after it became aware of that event or circumstance and was able to quantify the amount
for which it is entitled to be compensated under this clause 6.1.Any demand under this clause 6.1 is to be made to the Obligors Agent by the Creditor
(except in the case of a Creditor under a syndicated facility, in which case demand must
be made by the facility agent).

6.2
    
    Substantiating costsIf a Creditor (or a facility agent on its behalf) makes a demand under clause 6.1
(Compensation), it must provide the relevant Borrower with reasonably detailed
calculations showing how the amount demanded has been ascertained. However, nothing in
this clause 6.2 obliges the Creditor to provide details of its business or tax affairs
which it considers in good faith to be confidential.6.3
    
    Procedure for claim
 (a)
    
    In the absence of manifest error, and subject to clause 6.2 (Substantiating
costs), a certificate by a Creditor is sufficient evidence of the amount of the
compensation payable by the relevant Borrower to the Creditor under clause 6.1
(Compensation).(b)
    
    In determining the amount of the compensation payable under clause 6.1
(Compensation), the Creditor may use averaging and attribution methods commonly used
by the Creditor or any other method it reasonably considers appropriate to determine
the amount.
 6.4
    
    Possible minimisation
 (a)
    
    The Creditor agrees:
 (i)
    
    to use reasonable endeavours to mitigate the effects of
those events or circumstances giving rise to the increased cost or reduction
in any payment or return for which the Creditor (or a facility agent on its
behalf) claims compensation under clause 6.1 (Compensation); and(ii)
    
    at the request of the Obligors Agent, to consider the
transfer or assignment of its rights and obligations under this amended and
restated deed and the other relevant Transaction Documents to which it is a
party to another bank or financial institution at par.
 (b)
    
    Subject to clause 6.4(a)(i), the relevant Borrower agrees to compensate the
Creditor whether or not the increase or the reduction could have been avoided.

    Illegality7.1
    
    Creditors right to suspend or cancelThis clause 7 applies if a Creditor determines in good faith that:
 (a)
    
    a change in a Directive;(b)
    
    a change in the interpretation or administration of a Directive by an
authority; or(c)

continue to fund or provide, financial accommodation under any Transaction Document. In

relevant Transaction Document as indicated in the notice.7.2
    
    Extent and durationThe suspension or cancellation:
 (a)
    
    must apply only to the extent necessary to avoid the illegality; and(b)
    
    in the case of suspension, may continue only for so long as the illegality
continues.
 7.3
    
    Notice requiring early repayment or redemptionIf the illegality relates to an amount outstanding to a Creditor, the Creditor (or, in the
case of a syndicated facility, the facility agent), by giving a notice to the Obligors
Agent, may require early repayment or redemption of all or part of the affected
outstandings and interest accrued on that part. The relevant Borrower in respect of which
the Creditor has made a determination under clause 7.1 agrees to repay or redeem the
amount specified no later than the date the illegality arises.7.4
    
    Creditor to seek alternative funding methodThe affected Creditor (at no cost to an Obligor) during the period of 90 days after the
notice pursuant to clause 7.1 agrees to use reasonable endeavours to make that part of the
facility affected by the illegality available by alternative means (including changing its
lending office to another then existing lending office or making the financial
accommodation available through a Related Entity of the Creditor).8
    
    Representations and warranties8.1
    
    Representations and warrantiesEach Obligor (but in the case of a Borrower only from the date that it becomes a Borrower)
represents and warrants (except in relation to matters disclosed to the Creditors and

Obligor enforceable against the Obligor in accordance with its terms, except as such
enforceability may be limited by:

    applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors

    Taxes and fees (including registration fees) (other than Excluded Taxes) and
fines and penalties in respect of fees paid in connection with any Transaction
Document or a payment or receipt or any other transaction contemplated by any
Transaction Document. However, the relevant Borrower need not pay a fine or penalty
in connection with Taxes or fees to the extent that it has lodged with the relevant
Creditor sufficient cleared funds for the relevant Creditor to be able to pay the
Taxes or fees by the due date.
 This clause 12.1 shall not apply to any amounts, which have otherwise been paid or
compensated for under a Transaction Document.12.2
    
    IndemnityEach relevant Borrower indemnifies each Creditor against any claim, action, damage, loss,
liability, cost, charge, expense, outgoing and payment of Break Costs which that Creditor

accordance with a prepayment notice given under a Facility;(d)
    
    a Creditor acting in connection with a Transaction Document in good faith on
fax or telephone instructions which have no apparent irregularity on their face,
purport to originate from the offices of an Obligor or to be given by an Authorised
Officer of an Obligor which, in the case of fax instructions, are signed and such
signature accords with a current specimen signature of an Authorised Officer in the
possession of the Creditor;(e)

    a Creditor exercising or attempting to exercise a right or remedy in

12.3
    
    Currency conversion on judgment debtIf a judgment, order or proof of debt for an amount in connection with a Transaction
Document is expressed in a currency other than that in which the amount is due under the
Transaction Document, then the relevant Borrower indemnifies each Creditor against:
 (a)
    
    any difference arising from converting the other currency if the rate of
exchange used by the Creditor under clause 4.2 (Currency of payment) for converting
currency when it receives a payment in the other currency is less favourable to the
Creditor than the rate of exchange used for the purpose of the judgment, order or
acceptance of proof of debt; and(b)
    
    the Costs of conversion.
 Each Borrower agrees to pay amounts due under this indemnity to a Creditor on demand from
that Creditor (except in the case of a Creditor under the syndicated facility, in which
case demand must be made by the facility agent).12.4
    
    Indirect Taxes
 (a)
    
    All payments to be made by an Obligor under or in connection with any
Transaction 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 Creditor an additional amount equal to
that payment (or part) multiplied by the appropriate rate of Indirect Tax;
and(ii)
    
    the Creditor will promptly provide to the Obligor a tax
invoice complying with the relevant law relating to that Indirect Tax.
 (b)
    
    Where a Transaction Document requires an Obligor to reimburse a Creditor for
any costs or expenses, that Obligor shall also at the same time pay and indemnify that
Creditor against all Indirect Tax incurred by that Creditor in respect of the costs
or expenses save to the extent that that Creditor is entitled to repayment or credit
in respect of the Indirect Tax. The Creditor will promptly provide to the Obligor a
tax invoice complying with the relevant law relating to that Indirect Tax.

pay interest on that amount at the Default Rate. The interest accrues daily from (and
including) the due date to (but excluding) the date of actual payment and is calculated on
actual days elapsed and either a 360 or 365 day year, whichever is the length of time
customarily adopted for such calculations for the currency in which the relevant amount is
denominated.The relevant Obligor must pay interest under this clause to the relevant Creditor.

Day of each calendar month. Interest is payable on the increased overdue amount at the
Default Rate in the manner set out in clause 13.1 (Obligation to pay).13.3
    
    Interest following judgmentIf a liability becomes merged in a judgment, the relevant Obligor must pay interest on the
amount of that liability as an independent obligation. This interest:
 (a)
    
    accrues daily from (and including) the date the liability becomes due for
payment both before and after the judgment up to (but excluding) the date the
liability is paid; and(b)

 The relevant Obligor must pay interest under this clause 13 to the relevant Creditor on
demand from the relevant Creditor.

and the transactions contemplated thereunder which the Creditor is required by the law of
any country (including, without limitation, laws relating to money laundering and/or the
financing of terrorism) to obtain, verify, record and/or disclose. The Obligors agree to
provide all information to the Creditor that the Creditor reasonably requires to comply
with any such law.18.16
    
    No responsibility for others obligationsIf a Creditor does not comply with its obligations under a Transaction Document, this does
not relieve any other Creditor or an Obligor of any of their respective obligations. No
party is responsible for the obligations of another party.18.17
    
    Further stepsEach Obligor agrees to do anything a Creditor reasonably asks (such as obtaining consents,
signing and producing documents and getting documents completed and signed):
 (a)
    
    to bind the Obligor and any other person intended to be bound under a
Transaction Document;(b)
    
    to enable a Creditor to register any power of attorney or any Transaction
Document; or(c)
    
    to show whether the Obligor is complying with this amended and restated deed.

18.18
    
    CounterpartsA Transaction Document may consist of a number of copies, each signed by one or more
parties to the document. If so, the signed copies are treated as making up the one
document.18.19
    
    Governing lawEach Transaction Document is governed by the law in force in New South Wales. Each
Obligor submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of that place.18.20
    
    Serving documentsSubject to clause 18.21 (Process Agent) and without preventing any other method of
service, any document in a court action may be served on a party by being delivered to or
left at that partys address for service of notices under clause 17 (Notices).18.21
    
    Process AgentEach Non-Australian Obligor appoints James Hardie Australia Pty Limited (ABN 12 084 635
558) of Level 3, 22 Pitt Street, Sydney NSW 2000 (Attention: The Company Secretary) as
its agent for service of process to receive any document in connection with the
Transaction Documents. If for any reason James Hardie Australia Pty Limited (ABN 12 084
635 558) ceases to be able to act as process agent for the Non-Australian Obligor, the
Non-Australian Obligor must promptly appoint another person in New South Wales to act as
its process agent and must promptly notify each Creditor (or, in the case of a syndicated
facility, the facility agent) of that appointment.18.22
    
    Each Creditors consent to this amended and restated deedThe terms of this amended and restated deed will take effect (and prevail over the terms
of the Previous Deeds) as between the Obligors and a Creditor only after that Creditor has
provided its written consent to the Obligors in respect of this amended and restated deed
and until that time the Previous Deeds will apply as between the Obligors and that
Creditor.Subject to the above paragraph, the Previous Deeds remain in full force and effect.
