“6.11

	
In the event
 that the Borrower is not in compliance with the terms and conditions of
 clause 11.14 of the Facility Agreement and the amount of the shortfall
 thereunder is equal to or greater than one million Dollars ($1,000,000), the
 Guarantor shall make a prepayment in the requisite amount to ensure
 compliance to the absolute satisfaction of the Lender with such clause.
 Clauses 7.2, 7.3 and 7.4 of the Facility Agreement shall apply, mutatis
 mutandis, to any repayment made pursuant to this Clause as if references to
 the Borrower were references to the Guarantor.”;


	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 


	
 

	
6.7

	
all
 references to “this Agreement” in the Original Facility Agreement shall be
 references to the Original Facility Agreement as amended and/or supplemented
 by this First Supplemental Agreement and as further amended and/or
 supplemented and/or varied and/or novated from time to time;


	
 

	
 

	
 


	
 

	
6.8

	
all
 references in all other Finance Documents to the Agreement (however it may be
 defined) shall be read and construed as the Original Facility Agreement as
 supplemented and amended by this First Supplemental Agreement; and


	
 

	
 

	
 


	
 

	
6.9

	
all other
 terms and conditions of the Original Facility Agreement and the other Finance

Confirmation and Undertaking


	
 

	
 


	
 

	
7.1

	
Each of the
 Security Parties confirms that all of its respective obligations under or
 pursuant to each of the Security Documents to which it is a party remain in
 full force and effect, despite the amendments to the Original Facility
 Agreement made in this First Supplemental Agreement, as if all references in
 any of the Security Documents to the Original Facility Agreement (however
 described) were references to the Original Facility Agreement as amended and
 supplemented by this First Supplemental Agreement.


	
 

	
 

	
 


	
 

	
7.2

	
The
 definition of any term defined in any of the Finance Documents shall, to the
 extent necessary, be modified to reflect the amendments to the Original
 Facility Agreement made in this First Supplemental Agreement.


	
 

	
 

	
 


	
 

	
7.3

	
For the
 avoidance of doubt, each of the Security Parties confirms that, if the
 Borrower and/or the Corporate Guarantor do not comply with any provision of
 this First Supplemental Agreement, such event or circumstance shall
 constitute an Event of Default under clause 14.1.2 of the Facility Agreement.

7.4.3

	
any breach

the payment
 of any dividend prior to the date of this First Supplemental Agreement.


	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 


	
 

	
 

	
This Clause
 does not affect any right of the Lender in relation to (i) any Default or
 Event of Default that occurs from and including 31 March 2009 and is not
 covered by this First Supplemental Agreement and (ii) any Default or Event of
 Default which occurs after 31 March 2010.
